Pushing the limits of PHP with ReactPHP – why ReactPHP is awesome and why you should care (IPC17)

It’s 2017 and times have changed – yet PHP is still most often associated with your average product catalogue or blogging platform. In this talk you will learn that PHP’s huge ecosystem has way more to offer and PHP is not inferior at all to its evil cousin Node.js. You will learn about the core concepts of async PHP and why you too should care about ReactPHP being a real thing. The talk has a strong focus on sparking the idea that PHP can be way faster and more versatile than you probably thought. Bring along an open mind and through lots of examples and demos learn why what sounds crazy at first might soon be a valuable addition in your toolbox.

  1. Agenda - Hello! - PHP, the web of the ‘90s?

    - Enter React - Core components - Examples and demo time - Conclusions 2
  2. Who are you? 12 now that you know me… -

    PHP developers? - architecs / engineers?
  3. Who are you? 13 now that you know me… -

    PHP developers? - architecs / engineers? - know React?

  5. PHP and the web of the ‘90s - traditional LAMP

    stack - Request-Response-Cycle 18 Apache Client PHP MySQL
  6. PHP and the web of the ‘90s - traditional LAMP

    stack - Request-Response-Cycle - PHP is too slow? - We sure can improve this… 19 Apache Client PHP MySQL

  10. Knock knock! 2017! - Separation of concerns (Frontend↔Backend) - HTTP

    APIs (RESTful) - Integration with 3rd parties - Live-Data (ticker) - CLI tools Who’s there? 27
  11. I/O is everywhere third party HTTP APIs (RESTful, SOAP, you

    name it…) mysql, postgres filesystem I/O (session files) 46
  12. I/O is everywhere third party HTTP APIs (RESTful, SOAP, you

    name it…) mysql, postgres filesystem I/O (session files) redis, memcache 47
  13. This is React 54 Start multiple I/O operations (non-blocking) Get

    notified when something happens (react) Don’t waste time waiting
  14. What React is not - React is not black magic

    / vodoo - Does not make your code faster magically 56
  15. What React is not - React is not black magic

    / vodoo - Does not make your code faster magically - React is not a framework - Indepentent components (libraries) 57
  16. What React is not - React is not black magic

    / vodoo - Does not make your code faster magically - React is not a framework - Indepentent components (libraries) - React is not a replacement for your favorite framework - Symfony is here to stay 58
  17. What React is not - React is not black magic

    / vodoo - Does not make your code faster magically - React is not a framework - Indepentent components (libraries) - React is not a replacement for your favorite framework - Symfony is here to stay - React is not the new buzz - React is here to stay as well (started in 2012) 59
  18. Event loop Consumers - THE core, low-level component - Create

    an instance - Just use the Factory - Additional extensions for bigger payloads - something inbetween… - just pass the $loop around - Start running - keeps running forever - unless stopped or done 63
  19. Event loop Consumers - THE core, low-level component - Create

    an instance - Just use the Factory - Additional extensions for bigger payloads - something inbetween… - just pass the $loop around - Start running - keeps running forever - unless stopped or done 64 $loop = Factory::create(); // something inbetween // pass the $loop around to all components $loop->run();
  20. Event loop Implementors - Reactor pattern (hence the name) -

    start timers - once - periodic - ticks 66 $loop->addTimer(0.5, function () { echo ‘world’; }); $loop->addTimer(0.3, function () { echo ‘hello’; });
  21. Event loop Implementors - Reactor pattern (hence the name) -

    start timers - once - periodic - ticks - wait for stream resources to become - readable - writable 67 $loop->addTimer(0.5, function () { echo ‘world’; }); $loop->addTimer(0.3, function () { echo ‘hello’; }); $loop->addReadStream($stream, $fn); $loop->addWriteStream($stream, $fn);
  22. Streams - Process large strings in chunks as they happen

    (think downloads) - Types - Readable (e.g. STDIN pipe) - Writable (e.g. STDOUT pipe) - Duplex (e.g. TCP/IP connection) 68
  23. Streams - interfaces, events and listeners: 69 $dest->write(‘hello’); $source->on(‘data’, function

    ($data) { var_dump($data); }); $source->on(‘close’, function () { echo ‘stream closed’; });
  24. Streams - interfaces, events and listeners: 70 $dest->write(‘hello’); $source->on(‘data’, function

    ($data) { var_dump($data); }); $source->on(‘close’, function () { echo ‘stream closed’; }); $source->pipe($gunzip)->pipe($badwords)->pipe($dest);
  25. Promises - Placeholder for a single future result - Possible

    states: - pending - fulfilled (successfully resolved) - rejected (Exception occured) 71
  26. Promises - no more imperative code flow - instead (tell,

    don’t ask) 72 $a->then($fulfilled = null, $rejected = null); $a->then(‘process’); $a->then(‘process’, ‘var_dump’);
  27. Socket server 75 react/socket - THE canonical chat example -

    broadcast all incoming msgs - run example server - connect via telnet: $ telnet ipc.clue.engineering 6001

  61. Avoid blocking! - The loop must not be blocked -

    Many functions / lib assume blocking by default - Anything >1ms should be reconsidered 129

    Many functions / lib assume blocking by default - Anything >1ms should be reconsidered - Alternatives - Single result: Promises - Evented: Streams 130
  63. Avoid blocking! - The loop must not be blocked -

    Many functions / lib assume blocking by default - Anything >1ms should be reconsidered - Alternatives - Single result: Promises - Evented: Streams - Need a blocking function? - Fork off! - Use IPC 131
  64. Avoid blocking! - The loop must not be blocked -

    Many functions / lib assume blocking by default - Anything >1ms should be reconsidered - Alternatives - Single result: Promises - Evented: Streams - Need a blocking function? - Fork off! - Use IPC 132 Pay attention: - PDO, mysql etc. - file system access - network access - third-party APIs
  65. Integration with traditional environments 134 integrating async into sync is

    easy - just run the loop until you’re done - see clue/block-react
  66. Integration with traditional environments 135 integrating async into sync is

    easy - just run the loop until you’re done - see clue/block-react integrating sync into async is hard
  67. Integration with traditional environments 136 integrating async into sync is

    easy - just run the loop until you’re done - see clue/block-react integrating sync into async is hard - often requires async rewrite - consider forking instead
