This response doesn't float right with me. Are PHP fpm configs horribly wrong by default? Do you not put a service like nginx/haproxy/apache/gunicorn/caddy in front of Ruby/python for a serious production deploy? Do you legitimately expect to deploy ruby/python without spending a minimum of an hour going over configs and assuming everything is right for your application by default while also assuming the opposite for PHP? I read the PHP configs for fun micro optimizations. It takes less than 10 minutes to find your framework's best practice list and apply them.
