Nicolas Grekas, Symfony Core Team member, will present a talk called 'The PHP Runtime I Want to See,' previewing background workers he's building into FrankenPHP that let long-running PHP processes persist state and publish data between requests without changing controller code. The post also covers hotel booking, the community party, and ticket registration. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are background workers in FrankenPHP and what problem do they solve? Background workers are a capability being added to FrankenPHP that let PHP run long-lived processes outside the normal HTTP request-response cycle, so state can persist and be published to requests directly, with no serialization, no TTL, and no restart needed. This addresses PHP's traditional one-request-one-process model, which forgets everything after each request and previously required workarounds like cron jobs, supervisors, TTLs, and Redis keys to simulate memory between requests. Controllers remain unchanged. _Developers weighing new PHP runtime patterns can follow how this FrankenPHP feature develops on daily.dev._ ### When and where is SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026 happening? SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026 runs November 26-27 in Warsaw, Poland, featuring three parallel talk tracks and community events. A Community Party is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, November 26, and a free, open Hackday follows on Saturday, November 28 at The Brain Embassy - Czackiego, supported by Baksla.sh. _Symfony developers planning conference travel can track SymfonyCon updates alongside other PHP news on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026: PHP wasn't supposed to do that \(Symfony Blog\)](https://daily.dev/posts/symfonycon-warsaw-2026-php-wasn-t-supposed-to-do-that-symfony-blog--k3jciyhux) · Symfony · 2 upvotes · 2 comments - [SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026: PHP’s Type System Dissected \(Symfony Blog\)](https://daily.dev/posts/symfonycon-warsaw-2026-php-s-type-system-dissected-symfony-blog--zl7p8fgkj) · Symfony · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026: Calling the Symfony Container from Legacy Code \(Symfony Blog\)](https://daily.dev/posts/symfonycon-warsaw-2026-calling-the-symfony-container-from-legacy-code-symfony-blog--b2lcehzbu) · Symfony · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#php](https://daily.dev/tags/php), [#symfony](https://daily.dev/tags/symfony) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/symfonycon-warsaw-2026-the-php-runtime-i-want-to-see-symfony-blog--ngy781hov) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026: The PHP Runtime I Want to See (Symfony Blog)","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/symfonycon-warsaw-2026-the-php-runtime-i-want-to-see-symfony-blog--ngy781hov","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/symfonycon-warsaw-2026-the-php-runtime-i-want-to-see-symfony-blog--ngy781hov"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T15:57:49.045Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T15:58:11.134Z","description":"SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026 takes place November 26-27, with a hackday on November 28.
