[![Logo Laravel Spawn](/logo.svg)](/logo.svg)

Laravel adapter for [PHP TrueAsync](https://github.com/true-async) — a PHP fork with a native coroutine scheduler and async I/O. Think Laravel Octane, but instead of Swoole or RoadRunner the runtime is TrueAsync.

**One worker. Many requests. Zero threads.**Each HTTP request runs in its own coroutine with isolated state — no shared memory, no leaks between requests.

---

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

- Each request = a separate coroutine with its own `Scope`
- Request-scoped services (`auth`, `session`, `cookie`) are isolated via `coroutine_context()` and `request_context()` (if use True Async Server)
- PDO Pool transparently gives each coroutine its own database connection and returns it when the coroutine ends
- No container cloning — isolation is handled at the coroutine level, not by copying the entire app

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP TrueAsync fork 8.6+
- Laravel 12+
- For FrankenPHP mode: `trueasync/php-true-async:latest-frankenphp` Docker image

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require yangusik/laravel-spawn
```

**Via git repository:**

```
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/yangusik/laravel-spawn"
    }
],
"require": {
    "yangusik/laravel-spawn": "dev-master"
}
```

**Via local path:**

```
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "../laravel-true-async"
    }
],
"require": {
    "yangusik/laravel-spawn": "*"
}
```

Then run `composer update`.

The service provider is auto-discovered by Laravel.

**Replace the Application class in `bootstrap/app.php`:**

```
- $app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
+ $app = new Spawn\Laravel\Foundation\AsyncApplication(
    $_ENV['APP_BASE_PATH'] ?? dirname(__DIR__)
);
```

This is required for per-coroutine isolation of `auth`, `session`, and `request`. Without it the service adapters register correctly but state isolation does not work.

Publish the config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=async-config
```

Servers
-------

[](#servers)

### True Async Server

[](#true-async-server)

Production-ready adapter using [True Async Server](https://true-async.github.io/en/docs/server/) in async worker mode.

Check `config/async.php`!

```
php artisan async:serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 --workers=1
```

### Dev server

[](#dev-server)

Simple TCP socket server for local development. Analogous to `php artisan serve`.

```
php artisan async:dev --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080
```

### FrankenPHP

[](#frankenphp)

Production-ready adapter using [FrankenPHP](https://frankenphp.dev) in async worker mode. Requires the `trueasync/php-true-async:latest-frankenphp` Docker image.

```
php artisan async:franken --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 --workers=1 --buffer=1
```

TrueAsync yields the coroutine on every DB call, so one worker handles hundreds of concurrent DB-bound requests without blocking.

### Notes

[](#notes)

- Each adapter has its own PostgreSQL instance on a separate port to avoid interference
- `APP_DEBUG=false` in all setups for fair comparison
- OPcache enabled in PHP-FPM
- `max_connections=500` in all PostgreSQL instances
- Absolute numbers will be higher on bare metal (benchmarks run on WSL2)

Full benchmark: [ta\_benchmark](https://github.com/YanGusik/ta_benchmark)

### Raw PHP — TrueAsync vs Swoole (no framework, no I/O)

[](#raw-php--trueasync-vs-swoole-no-framework-no-io)

On pure CPU-bound workloads both servers cap at the same throughput (~10k req/s). With optimal Swoole config (ZTS, 16 reactor threads) Swoole is ~1.6x faster on P95 latency due to FrankenPHP's Go↔PHP boundary overhead (futex synchronization). On I/O-bound workloads this overhead is negligible.

Sessions
--------

[](#sessions)

### Database sessions (built-in fix)

[](#database-sessions-built-in-fix)

The package automatically replaces Laravel's `DatabaseSessionHandler` with an async-safe version that uses `upsert` instead of `INSERT + catch + UPDATE`.

In a standard async server the HTTP response is sent *before* `kernel->terminate()` writes the session. If the client immediately sends the next request with the same cookie, two coroutines can race to INSERT the same session ID — causing duplicate-key warnings in the stock handler. The upsert is atomic, so this race is impossible regardless of concurrency.

No configuration needed. Works transparently when `SESSION_DRIVER=database`.

### Redis sessions (recommended for production)

[](#redis-sessions-recommended-for-production)

For high-concurrency workloads Redis sessions have lower overhead than database sessions and avoid any persistence race entirely:

```
SESSION_DRIVER=redis
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
```
