Why FrankenPHP Matters in Modern Infrastructure

One of the huge benefits of PHP is its "shared nothingness" architecture. A request comes in, PHP boots up, loads your framework, pulls in configuration, initializes services, handles the request, and then tears everything down. It is elegant in its simplicity and forgiving for developers because every request starts completely fresh with no shared state. However, it is also expensive in terms of CPU cycles, memory usage, and response time.
