Blitz is one fine tool and for sure worth trying

It's fast, it can handle huge amounts of traffic with ease! The only thing that I don't like about this product are its limits (at least to my knowledge). If you need more resources than what your server has available then maybe there isn’t anything better out here? But if not - go ahead because everything else will be great as well :) We use Hhvm at work so we have been able solve all our problems regarding performance issues without having any downtime or other side effects from using such…

Pros
  • Very reliable
  • Stable platform for running sites in production environment
  • Can scale up easily when necessary.
  • Easy debugging options due their simple stacktraces format :)
  • Fast execution times compared others PHP engines' products;)
Cons
  • Lacks some features related specifically Linux environments
  • Not suitable especially suited/optimized towards high loads

Great environment for hosting web apps

It runs very fast, it's easy to deploy (just copy your code folder), you can use many libraries like MongoDB or Redis from Apache with no problems at all; The debugging capabilities are great too! I think that some functions could be improved - if they were included by default there would not exist any problem of missing functionality as we have now when using other VMs such us Jave Virtual Machine which doesn't include debuggers outofthebox-. Also sometimes performance drops down due low RAM…

Pros
  • Performance is incredible compared ti PHP
  • Easy deployment process just clone project folders directly into server dirs for development purposes)
  • Debugging features in place already builtin within scripting environment
Cons
  • Nothing here

Great for those who want their website much quicker

That it makes use of a JIT compiler to enhance speed, that you can install your own php extensions using yum or apt, I have been happy with how quick my Apache server starts up after installing this software package. Nothing at all so far. It has made running our websites faster than when we were still stuck with mod_php! We are getting rid of old and out dated servers as well as upgrading some older machines from Centos 5 -CentOS7 which was also slow due to outdated systems. I love how fast it

Pros
  • It's fast, it's secure, it saves money, and it's easy to install!
Cons
  • No complaints yet, just hope it won't be too expensive to install if that is even possible
