Goridge is high performance PHP-to-Golang codec library which works over native PHP sockets and Golang net/rpc package. The library allows you to call Go service methods from PHP with minimal footprint, structures and `[]byte` support.
See https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner - High-performance PHP application server, load-balancer and process manager written in Golang
## Features
- no external dependencies or services, drop-in (64bit PHP version required)
- sockets over TCP or Unix (ext-sockets is required), standard pipes
- very fast (300k calls per second on Ryzen 1700X over 20 threads)
- native `net/rpc` integration, ability to connect to existed application(s)
- standalone protocol usage
- structured data transfer using json or msgpack
- `[]byte` transfer, including big payloads
- service, message and transport level error handling
- hackable
- works on Windows
- unix sockets powered (also on Windows)
