title: Write PHP non blocking applications
body: <p>I want to write non-blocking applications. I use apache2, but I was reading about nginx and its advantage with respect to apache processes. I am considering changing out apache for nginx. My question is, is it possible to write non-blocking web applications with php and nginx?.</p>
  
  <p>Or is a better idea to try and do this with python, using some reverse proxy like uwsgi or gunicorn with nginx? Or is the solution to learn nodejs?  </p>
