+Version 7 marks a major architectural shift for Lychee. Our Docker release is now powered by FrankenPHP with Laravel Octane instead of the traditional nginx + PHP-FPM stack. This infrastructure keeps the framework in memory and reuses components across requests, eliminating the overhead of rebuilding the entire application on every page load. As a result, boot time drops from 40-60ms to just 4-6ms per request, with 3-4x better throughput and significantly reduced latency. In May 2025, FrankenPHP gained official support from the PHP Foundation, cementing its position as the future of high-performance PHP applications.
