Up(sun) and running with FrankenPHP

The blog post provides a detailed guide on using FrankenPHP, a modern PHP application server written in Go, to enhance the performance of PHP applications hosted on Upsun. It outlines the steps needed to configure FrankenPHP in place of the default PHP-FPM server, emphasizing the importance of creating a staging environment for testing and configuration. The guide includes specific instructions for updating configuration files, adding necessary mounts and hooks, and deploying changes to a staging environment before merging to production. While highlighting the potential performance benefits of using FrankenPHP—such as reduced loading times and persistent application memory—the post also cautions that switching servers is not a comprehensive solution to deeper performance issues. Observability and understanding of the application's architecture are recommended as preliminary steps before transitioning to alternative servers like FrankenPHP, Swoole, or RoadRunner.
