Yes, you have to write 10-20 more characters than usual one time. Yes, it’s a hack. Every programming language with history has hacks. Hacks evoke negative emotions. But life does too :) All that’s needed is to change a few lines of code in index.php to initialize the application in an asynchronous context. It’s the same as launching Swoole: you need a few lines of code to initialize the web server. --- Ed
