About
Qbix Server is a pure-PHP web server that needs no NGinX or PHP-FPM. It can produce standalone binaries for Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, and supports decentralized apps that work offline over WiFi and Bluetooth. The project claims it can handle over 100 times more traffic than a conventional PHP setup.
At a glance
Qbix Server serves PHP requests and persistent connections such as WebSockets on one port. It is worth a small trial if you want to add live updates to a PHP app and would like to operate fewer services.
Good fit
PHP developers who can trial a real-time feature in isolation before migrating an existing application.
Consider something else when
Keep the current server if it already meets your needs and you depend on established behavior that you cannot regression-test.
Start here
Serve a disposable copy of one PHP route and a small WebSocket example. Check that both clients receive an update, then exercise login or session handling before trying a larger migration.
Cost and requirements
The repository documents a PHP entry point and standalone builds. Review the platform and extension requirements for the deployment you intend to use.
Limits to know
The server documents how it resets PHP state between requests. Test your own framework, session handling and extensions before relying on the project’s broad compatibility claims.
