[php] Laravel with RoadRunner

[joanhey]

Added protobuf extension for faster performance. Thanks @roxblnfk .

Tried with octane:start but it was easier with rr serve directly, to add the Server Header without a middleware.

Update to Laravel 12 and PHP8.4.

Added config/octane.php to set max-request=10000 for all platforms using Octane, that is better for a benchmark.

#9408

PD: ready to be merged.
Laravel-s is fixed in #9950

[joanhey]

@roxblnfk could you help to add the Server Header globally and any optimization ?

It's working OK, but need the Server Header.
And I think it's better than RoadRunner add it globally, without an extra Laravel middelware.

[roxblnfk]

Try to add this declaration with http middleware

http:
 headers:
    response:
      Server: "RoadRunner"

Oh, I see it's here yet

[joanhey]

It's there:
https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/10041/files#diff-ded17ef494703a5082d5b4388ca0133e8271495276405936e1b9ccad939ad1a8R13

And perhaps we can simplify the .rr.yaml with Octane.

[roxblnfk]

I think Octane just overrides RR config. We can use https://github.com/roadrunner-php/laravel-bridge that more predictable and respects rr.yaml

[joanhey]

Added the yaml file to Laravel Octane:

ENTRYPOINT ["php", "artisan", "octane:roadrunner", "--host=0.0.0.0", "--port=8080", "--rr-config=/laravel/deploy/roadrunner/.rr.yaml"]

And It's loading the file.

Why rr don't return a Server Header by default ??
And we don't need extra work to add it.

PD: by default all servers add the Server Header, and they only add an option to disable it.

[roxblnfk]

Octane overrides middleware set there:
https://github.com/laravel/octane/blob/4a46a6c4886ea42e4fff4aa781497121083d5e46/src/Commands/StartRoadRunnerCommand.php#L92

Now need to understand how to set config octane.roadrunner.http_middleware

Why rr don't return a Server Header by default ??

Security policy

[roxblnfk]

Also note there is max-requests option. It's bad option BTW, reloading workers like this may decrease performance

Also it doesn't use pipes.
Also debug log-level is very slow, make sure it set to warn or error
logs.output should be stderr. I have no idea how to configure it

[joanhey]

Yes I need to change max-requests as I did with Swoole.
"--max-requests=10000"

[joanhey]

I added the log level in the .rr.yaml file, but perhaps Octane override it.

https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/10041/files#diff-ded17ef494703a5082d5b4388ca0133e8271495276405936e1b9ccad939ad1a8R10-R12

PD: and yes it's better to show the errors in stderr, so we can see it in the runs.

[roxblnfk]

Have you reconsidered using roadrunner-php/laravel-bridge 😄? This bridge has a redesigned worker startup process, but under the hood, it uses Octane to reset state.

[joanhey]

Bypass octane:start and use rr serve directly.
So It's working OK and pass all the tests.

@roxblnfk feel free to add or suggest any change in .rr.yaml

https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/95546ab43b892a7c1ae28a2fedeb5e51f1a40186/frameworks/PHP/laravel/deploy/roadrunner/.rr.yaml

[roxblnfk]

feel free to add or suggest any change in .rr.yaml

the same recommendations as before.

Additionally, depending on the nature of the load (CPU/IO), you could try adding gzip middleware: less load on IO, more on CPU.

[joanhey]

Debug level is now:

logs:
  mode: production
  level: error
  output: stdout
  #encoding: json

I don't know how to change the max-requests in .rr.yaml.

This bench requirements:

gzip compression is not permitted.
