Modern PHP development with FrankenPHP and Docker

SMRTR summary

FrankenPHP transforms PHP development by integrating with Caddy web server to offer native HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, automatic HTTPS, and the ability to compile PHP apps into standalone binaries. This single-binary approach eliminates the complexity of traditional PHP setups (Apache/Nginx, PHP-FPM), reducing memory usage by 50-70% and improving throughput 2-3x when using worker mode.
