Support for frankenphp?

[git001]

Are there any plans to make an integration in CraftCMS with https://frankenphp.dev/ ?

We haven’t played with it yet, but apparently it’s at least somewhat possible thanks to #16848.

Haven't used it yet, but there's a package by @giorgiopogliani (by the same guy that Brandon mentions above, maybe he could elaborate some more on this?) https://github.com/performingdigital/craft-frankenphp
I'm also interested in http-requests and performance benchmarks, because it could theoretically improve our sites performance a lot

Hello! my package is made for the worker mode and it's still somewhat experimental not everything works, but we are using it for quite sometime now for an headless craft installation and our cpu usage and response time was drastically reduced.

This is an old screenshot I took after I switched:

Also, it's not visible in the picture but there was also a reduction in bandwidth (between the application server and the database server), I believe that a lot of db queries are now remaining in memory between requests and not queried again for each requests.

I tried to use it in a normal craft website with twig frontend but a lot of stuff remain half loaded or wrongly loaded, primarly because of the dual nature of the application, the craftcms control panel and the actual frontend website. I think It's definitely possible but I didn't invest a lot of time in this other setup and I couldn't find a way to clear the right things on each request.

Another tricky part are plugins, it's possible to have some weird behaviour, depening on what they are doing and how stuff remain in memory. For example, I had weird problem with verbb/hyper but migrating to the native craft link field I workaround the issue.

Thanks for explaining, appreciate it!
Only looking at the flat line in the graphic does make it worth a try :) but it seems:

1. There should be some sort of 'safe' approach/notes for plugin developers to handle the worker-mode well. What's the right way of handling things?
2. The Twig front-end should be working like it should without worker-mode. Can we overcome this?

@brandonkelly This is interesting (certainly for Craft 6 ;) )!
