Optimizing Backend Performance using Compile-time Processing
Shift the heavy lifting from runtime to compile time. By generating classes that load straight from opcache, PHP's own parse-and-compile step absorbs the expensive work, leaving runtime extremely fast. Optimization techniques for backends that need real headroom.
This talk presents optimization techniques that make the most of the PHP parsing and compilation into bytecode using techniques like code generation of classes that are loaded from opcache. This moves heavy processing from runtime to compile-time, making runtime extremely fast and efficient.
