RHP
The Rust-Powered, High-Performance PHP/Laravel-Style Runtime
RHP supercharges PHP & Laravel-style apps with Rust speed, memory safety, and zero state-leaks. Traditional PHP boots framework code on every request; RHP keeps it permanently in memory via a parent process. It features synchronous execution, Dart-style concurrency (Future::run()), optimized Rust native collections (list, dict), and dual dev/prod modes ("rhp run dev" AST runner / "rhp run build" VM). Expressive syntax with zero compromise on speed.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m the creator of RHP, and I built this because I love the clean developer ergonomics of PHP and Laravel, but I’ve always wanted the raw, uncompromising performance and memory safety of Rust under the hood.
Most backend applications don't need massive performance on day one, but businesses always face heavy migration costs when their traffic scales and standard PHP runtimes hit bottlenecks. RHP bridges that gap: you get familiar, expressive syntax, strict boundary typing, and lightning-fast execution without needing to rewrite your entire stack in another language.
Why RHP is different:
1. No Per-Request Booting: The parent process pre-compiles your app once. Workers handle requests concurrently using a high-throughput Tokio pool.
2. Safe & Predictable: Strict memory management and request-scoped arena allocation prevent the dreaded state-leakage bugs common in traditional long-lived PHP runtimes.
3. Built for Developers: Complete with a local dev runner, source maps, hot-reloading, and an interactive DAP debugger.
I'd love for you to check it out, test the syntax, and let me know your thoughts, feedback, or what features you'd want to see next. Ask me anything! 🚀
