PivotPHP Core v1.1.0 - High-Performance Roadmap

PivotPHP Core v1.1.0 - High-Performance Roadmap

Target Release: Q3 2025
Theme: Enterprise-Grade Performance Under Stress
Focus: High-stress scenarios, auto-scaling, and resilience

🎯 Vision

PivotPHP v1.1.0 will transform the framework into an enterprise-ready solution capable of handling extreme load conditions while maintaining optimal performance. This release focuses on advanced object pooling, intelligent resource management, and graceful degradation under stress.

🚀 Core Features

1. Advanced Object Pooling System

Dynamic Pool Sizing

OptimizedHttpFactory::initialize([
    'pool_config' => [
        'initial_size' => 50,
        'max_size' => 500,
        'emergency_limit' => 1000,
        'auto_scale' => true,
        'scale_threshold' => 0.8, // Scale when 80% utilized
        'scale_factor' => 1.5,
        'cooldown_period' => 60, // seconds
    ],
]);

Pool Overflow Strategies

• Elastic Expansion: Temporary pool growth during traffic spikes
• Priority Queuing: High-priority requests get pool objects first
• Graceful Fallback: Create new objects when pools exhausted
• Smart Recycling: Aggressive object reuse during high load

2. High-Stress Behavior Management

Traffic Classification

$app->use(new TrafficClassifier([
    'rules' => [
        ['pattern' => '/api/critical/*', 'priority' => 'high'],
        ['pattern' => '/api/analytics/*', 'priority' => 'low'],
        ['user_agent' => 'HealthCheck', 'priority' => 'system'],
    ],
]));

Load Shedding

$app->use(new LoadShedder([
    'max_concurrent_requests' => 10000,
    'shed_strategy' => 'priority', // priority|random|oldest
    'shed_response' => [
        'status' => 503,
        'body' => ['error' => 'Service temporarily at capacity'],
        'headers' => ['Retry-After' => 30],
    ],
]));

Circuit Breaker Pattern

$app->use(new CircuitBreaker([
    'failure_threshold' => 50, // failures per minute
    'recovery_timeout' => 30, // seconds
    'half_open_requests' => 10, // test requests in half-open
    'excluded_paths' => ['/health', '/metrics'],
]));

3. Performance Monitoring & Metrics

Real-Time Metrics

$metrics = PerformanceMonitor::getLiveMetrics();
/*
[
    'current_load' => 8547,          // requests/sec
    'pool_utilization' => 0.76,      // 76%
    'memory_pressure' => 0.42,       // 42%
    'gc_frequency' => 12.3,          // per minute
    'p99_latency' => 15.2,           // ms
    'error_rate' => 0.0012,          // 0.12%
]
*/

Adaptive Thresholds

AdaptivePerformance::configure([
    'learning_mode' => true,
    'baseline_period' => 3600, // 1 hour
    'anomaly_detection' => true,
    'auto_tune' => [
        'pool_size' => true,
        'cache_ttl' => true,
        'rate_limits' => true,
    ],
]);

4. Distributed Pool Management

Multi-Instance Coordination

DistributedPoolManager::initialize([
    'coordination' => 'redis', // redis|etcd|consul
    'namespace' => 'pivotphp:pools',
    'sync_interval' => 5, // seconds
    'leader_election' => true,
]);

Pool State Sharing

// Instance A creates objects
$pool->contribute($objects);

// Instance B can borrow objects
$borrowed = $pool->borrow(10);

// Automatic rebalancing
$pool->rebalance();

5. Memory Management Enhancements

Intelligent Garbage Collection

MemoryManager::configure([
    'gc_strategy' => 'adaptive', // adaptive|aggressive|conservative
    'gc_threshold' => 0.7, // 70% memory usage
    'emergency_gc' => 0.9, // 90% triggers emergency GC
    'object_lifetime' => [
        'request' => 300, // 5 minutes
        'response' => 300,
        'stream' => 60, // 1 minute
    ],
]);

Memory Pressure Responses

• Level 1 (70%): Increase GC frequency
• Level 2 (80%): Reduce pool sizes
• Level 3 (90%): Activate emergency mode
• Level 4 (95%): Reject non-critical requests

6. Request Pipeline Optimization

Parallel Processing

$app->use(new ParallelProcessor([
    'max_workers' => 10,
    'queue_size' => 1000,
    'timeout' => 30,
]));

Request Batching

$app->post('/api/batch', new BatchHandler([
    'max_batch_size' => 100,
    'max_wait_time' => 100, // ms
    'parallel_execution' => true,
]));

📊 Performance Targets
