PHP-FPM / Swoole - Performance Comparison!

Here are some comparative benchmarks of our API using PHP-FPM vs Laravel Octane (Swoole) endpoints.

Test Hardware - Setup

• Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2018) - 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7. 32 GB 2400 Mhz
• MySQL - 8.0
• PHP - 8.0.3
• Laravel - 8.83.5
• Swoole - 4.8.11
• Wrk

Test 1 - Sport Collections API Call

PHP-FPM - Via MySQL

❯ wrk -t4 -c50 -d30s http://localhost:8080/sports/types
Running 30s test @ http://localhost:8080/sports/types
  4 threads and 50 connections
  Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
    Latency   472.72ms   54.67ms 714.01ms   76.17%
    Req/Sec    25.54     12.01    60.00     59.12%

Octane (Swoole) - Via MySQL

❯ wrk -t4 -c50 -d30s http://localhost:8080/sports/types
Running 30s test @ http://localhost:8080/sports/types
  4 threads and 50 connections
  Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
    Latency   332.01ms   76.39ms 940.20ms   78.26%
    Req/Sec    36.28     15.77   101.00     62.15%
  4322 requests in 30.07s, 27.04MB read
Requests/sec:    143.74
Transfer/sec:      0.90MB

Octane (Swoole) - Via Octane Cache

❯ wrk -t4 -c50 -d30s http://localhost:8080/sports/types
  Running 30s test @ http://localhost:8080/sports/types
    4 threads and 50 connections
    Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
      Latency   270.90ms   73.65ms 920.71ms   78.17%
      Req/Sec    44.87     18.09   100.00     71.62%
    5324 requests in 30.07s, 33.30MB read
  Requests/sec:    177.04
  Transfer/sec:      1.11MB

The conclusion of these tests is that the Swoole equivelent of the PHP-FPM API calls are considerably faster than their originals without any code level modifications. If we utilize the Octane (Swoole) caching, this becomes marginally faster.
