wait, did that continue to use php-fpm? if not I want details plz! :D (especially around the logging sync, unless itβs just php-fpm configured to collect child process output)
Yes, it did, not too much magic going on, the Go proxy also was a replacement for supervisord so it started nginx and fpm, reaped zombies and pulled all the important logs into stdout/stderr. The most remarkable thing was how this revitalized a team that wrote boring PHP software limited to deploying via FTP on PHP 5.
They ended up really getting into stripping out every piece of PHP they didn't use because the image built PHP from scratch, eventually took over maintenance of the go piece and ported a bunch of their apps to Symphony. I was in a platform engineering team and they were one of the few teams to really torture test every feature we ever shipped to the point they'd report edge cases or a bug to us every other week or so.
As for the logging question, we configured Symphony to log to syslog, which was provided by the Go daemon via unix socket.
