History
Development on RoadRunner began in 2017 by Anton Titov and was released in 2018 on GitHub, under an MIT license. "Introducing RoadRunner: A High-Performance PHP Application Server". 19 November 2018. By the middle of 2018, we polished the approach, published it to GitHub under an MIT license, and called it RoadRunner which described its incredible speed and efficiency.
RoadRunner was 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.
