Zend Web Platform
The Zend Web Platform is a container-based deployment platform for PHP applications and APIs. It provides:
- Security: All images used are hardened to CIS Benchmarks. Only necessary ports are exposed, limiting attack surface, and ensuring secure communication between integrated services.
- Scalability: The Web Platform integrates a key/value store, providing both data caching for applications, as well as a scalable session storage mechanism for all PHP applications in the deployment. ZendHQ's JobQueue allows deferring and scheduling tasks and jobs, offloading long-running or heavy processes from the user-facing work of your applications. Additionally, the Enterprise variant of the platform provides High Availability for all services, and auto-scaling for PHP and web pools, ensuring your application is always reachable.
- Observability: In addition to ZendHQ's monitoring rules, code tracing, and Z-Ray, the Web Platform integrates the OpenTelemetry collector, which aggregates metrics from all services, as well as traces initiated by the platform ingress. The Web Platform aggregates logs for all services via FluentBit. By default, both OpenTelemetry and FluentBit push to an integrated OpenSearch service, providing a single pane of glass into the health of your system.
- Portability: Based on Compose (Core Web Platform) or Kubernetes (Enterprise Web Platform), you can take your deployment wherever you want: public cloud, private cloud, or on premises. Developers can share Core Web Platform configuration to ensure they all develop against the same production capabilities. And while we integrate OpenSearch by default, you can have OpenTelemetry and FluentBit push to any third-party APMs and log aggregators you already use.
