            <p>
                Benefit from concurrency by replacing your blocking I/O with non-blocking I/O,<br>
                or designing your system with non-blocking I/O from the ground up.
            </p>

        <div>
            <p>
                We shipped fibers in PHP 8.1 to extend its capabilities for concurrent applications.
            </p>

            <p>
                The PHP standard library has already provided everything else we needed for years now, but it only ships the
                low-level building blocks. AMPHP provides higher-level libraries using non-blocking I/O
                under the hood.
                Fibers allow these libraries to just work, no matter whether they're used in concurrent or traditional
                contexts.
