FrankenPHP: the server absorbs PHP

One binary, my code, a Caddyfile. That is the whole deployment of a small internal service I moved to FrankenPHP in staging this week.

The classic PHP deployment is a couple: Nginx in front, PHP-FPM behind, FastCGI between them. Two configs, two processes to supervise, one socket to misconfigure. It works, we all know it by heart, and knowing it by heart is the only reason we call it simple.

MySQL now has two speeds

MySQL 8.1 came out this week, and its support window is measured in months. That is by design. Oracle changed the release model: two tracks now. Innovation releases every quarter or so, 8.1 is the first, short support, new features fast. And an LTS line with years of support, promised for next year. 8.0 stays on bugfixes until its end of life in 2026.

For years the question was “when do we finally move to 8.0”. Now the question has a second dimension: which track are you even on. That is a product decision, and it is worth making explicitly instead of by inertia.
