RoadRunner is a PHP application server that is mature and stable, so you can use it in your production environment. It is written in the Go programming language, which means that under the hood, RoadRunner uses goroutines and the multi-threading capabilities provided by Go. Thanks to its Go implementation, RoadRunner runs on the most common operating systems, such as macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and ARM.
