README

The Stimulus plugin supercharges your CakePHP application's performance by serving it with high-powered application servers, including FrankenPHP, RoadRunner, Swoole, and Open Swoole.

Stimulus boots your application once, keeps it in memory, and feeds it requests at supersonic speeds instead of rebooting the framework for every request like PHP-FPM.

The plugin resets framework state between requests through worker listeners, and provides concurrent task dispatching, tick handlers, a shared Swoole-table cache, and Swoole tables for data shared across workers.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with CakePHP's application lifecycle and provides command line tools for installing, starting, reloading, stopping, and checking the status of the server.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+

See Versions.md for the supported CakePHP versions.

Installation
