History

Development on RoadRunner began in 2017 by Anton Titov. RoadRunner was initially created to handle the peak loads of a large-scale PHP application developed by Spiral Scout. The end application was experiencing anomaly peaks in very short spurts of time which did not allow classic load balancing mechanisms to activate.

Roadrunner uses multi-threading to keep a PHP application in memory between requests, allowing it to eliminate boot loading and code loading processes and reduce latency. Improved RPC communication between the PHP application and its server processes gives Roadrunner the ability to offload some of the heavy communication from PHP to Go.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: Supreme leader. I was elected to that role.
gollark: ALSO NOT THE POINT.
gollark: That is NOT THE POINT and you should realise that. Fortunately I can delete messages on my end with some inspect element hax.
gollark: Anyway, see, you can't be trusted as the leader because you *apparently* don't understand that you probably shouldn't just wave NSFW stuff in people's faces.
