Blink

PHP micro web framework and application server built on the Swoole extension.

Blink is a micro web framework and application server for PHP, built for long-running services. It can serve HTTP requests directly in PHP through the Swoole extension, without php-fpm or Apache’s mod_php, and it can also be deployed under PHP-FPM or Apache. A project is created with Composer from the blink/seed package, as the README describes. The documentation is published in English and Chinese.

Worth knowing

Running Blink as a server needs the Swoole PHP extension, according to the installation guide. The README states that the project is still in active development; the record shows the last release date and does not decide whether the project is active.
