Blackfire is a Performance Management Solution. It can be used at any step of your application's lifecycle: during development, test, staging and production, to profile, test, debug and optimize its performance.

How to Achieve even more?

DisclaimerThe following stacks can behave differently on different hardware and configuration.

The following benchmarks are advised to be made on your own as well to get a better overview.
