Roadmap

Forward-looking design documents — what we’re planning, what we’re considering, and what we’ve decided not to do (yet).

These pages describe targets, not currently-shipped behavior. For what works today, see Architecture and Feature Status.

• Preview Deployments — instant per-PR preview URLs via a GitHub bot.
• OPcache Clustering & Per-Vhost Preload — atomic cluster-wide OPcache invalidation via the KV store, plus per-vhost preload via site.toml.
• Native Middleware — load .so middleware between hyper and the PHP SAPI, with a documented C ABI, host callbacks into the KV store, and a Rust reference crate. Caddy-style plugins for a PHP runtime.
• Dynamic PHP Extensions — load standard PHP extensions (.so / .dll) at startup from site.toml, the same way extension=foo.so works in php.ini. Complements the static baseline.
• Laravel Octane Driver — native ephpm driver for Laravel Octane worker mode.
• Symfony Runtime Adapter — native ephpm adapter under symfony/runtime.
• WordPress Worker Mode — opinionated WP runtime that boots once per worker thread.
• PSR-15 Worker Mode — generic adapter for Mezzio, Slim, and any PSR-15 framework.
• Kubernetes Operator — first-class K8s deployment.
• Edge Deployments — running ePHPm at the edge.
• Hosting Models — how ePHPm could be packaged for cloud providers.
• Webserver Feature Parity — Apache/Nginx feature gap analysis.
