[](#folk)

**High-performance PHP application server powered by Rust.**

Folk replaces nginx + php-fpm with a single binary that handles HTTP, gRPC, background jobs, metrics, and managed processes — all with zero-copy communication between Rust and PHP.

-----------

[](#quick-start)

**1. Install the extension** (requires PHP 8.2+, NTS) — see [Installation](https://folk-project.github.io/folk-releases/installation/) for Docker and from-source:

```
pie install folk-project/ext-folk
```

**2. Install the SDK or a framework adapter:**

```
composer require folk/sdk        # plain PHP
# composer require folk/laravel  # Laravel
# composer require folk/spiral   # Spiral 3.x
# composer require folk/symfony  # Symfony 6.4 / 7.x / 8.x
# composer require folk/yii3     # Yii 3
```

**3. Create `folk.toml`** ([all options](https://folk-project.github.io/folk-releases/configuration/)):

```
[workers]
# Framework adapters (Laravel/Spiral/Symfony/Yii 3): vendor/bin/folk-server
# Plain SDK:                                          vendor/bin/folk-worker
script = "vendor/bin/folk-server"
count = 4

[http]
listen = "0.0.0.0:8080"
```

**4. Run:**

```
php vendor/bin/folk-server   # framework adapters; plain SDK: vendor/bin/folk-worker
```

Your app is now serving HTTP on port 8080 across 4 worker processes.
