Real-time PHP,
backed by the people
who built it.
Ship faster with the team that created php-via. Deep expertise in OpenSwoole, real-time architecture, and async PHP, available directly for your project.
Everything from integration to embedded expertise.
Whether you need a shipped feature, an architecture review, or a long-term engineering partner, every engagement is scoped around outcomes, not hours.
php-via Project Build
php-via is a paradigm shift, not a plugin. We design and build your application from the ground up on the right foundations: OpenSwoole, Datastar, and the scope model that makes real-time PHP actually work.
OpenSwoole & Async PHP
Deep knowledge of OpenSwoole internals, coroutine scheduling, and the async event loop. We debug the hard problems: memory leaks, connection storms, and timer drift. The ones that trip up everyone else.
Real-time & SSE Architecture
Design and implementation of server-sent event systems, broadcast strategies, message brokers (Redis, NATS), and horizontal scaling under load. We've stress-tested the patterns this framework is built on.
PHP Architecture Consulting
Greenfield or legacy: we help you pick the right patterns for your scale, team size, and delivery pace. Code reviews, ADRs, and hands-on refactoring included.
Dedicated Engineering
A senior PHP engineer embedded in your team, focused on your outcomes. Defined scope, clear deliverables, full accountability. You get results, not a timesheet.
Training & Workshops
Hands-on training sessions tailored to your team and your codebase. From async PHP fundamentals to advanced php-via patterns, scope design, and production operations. Remote or on-site.
Built by zwei und eins gmbh.
Michael Bolli is the creator of php-via and owner of zwei und eins gmbh, a Swiss software consultancy specialising in real-time PHP, backend architecture, and high-performance web systems.
php-via was born out of real production frustration: watching PHP projects bolt on WebSocket servers, polling loops, and JavaScript frameworks to solve problems that should be solved at the server. The goal: give PHP developers the same multiplayer-by-default experience that Elixir LiveView gives to Elixir teams. Without needing to learn Elixir.
When you engage with us, you're working directly with the engineer who made the design decisions in every line of this framework.
Simple engagement, no sales theatre.
