Looking for recommendations! (Please don’t recommend Go/Nodejs, only PHP based) 🚀

We’re planning to develop a microservice in PHP and are considering async frameworks for better performance. In your experience, which PHP async framework is the fastest and most efficient for handling high-load scenarios?

Some of the short-listed candidates:

• Laravel Octane (w/ Swoole)
• Symfony w/ Swool runtime

Would love to hear your thoughts—any suggestions or real-world insights would be super helpful! 🙌
