Blink

Blink is a micro web framework for building long-running and high-performance services, the design heavily inspired by Yii2 and Laravel. Blink aims to provide the most expressive and elegant API and try to make the experience of web development as pleasant as possible. Besides, Blink is also an application server that can serve requests directly in PHP, without php-fpm or Apache's mod_php. we use the Swoole extension as the underlying networking library. This can easily make our PHP application 100% faster in just a blink. In php-fpm or mod_php, all resources like objects and database connections only live within a single request, all these resources will be freed once the request terminates. This works fine with simple applications without much traffic, but for large scale applications, the performance impact of reallocating resources on every request is really huge.
