Or FrankenPHP, or hell, there's still even good old Apache. Or avoid the SAPI interface entirely with servers in PHP like Workerman, AMPHP, or Swoole. FPM is entirely too fussy for me to bother with: its error handling is atrocious (restarting in an infinite loop with no backoff is common), and no one really knows how to tune it.

Those are great solutions for production deployment, but to the previous commenter's point, for iterating on your local machine during development work, nothing beats just running `php -S`.

Launch the interpreter's built-in dev server in your project directory, load up localhost in your browser, work on your code, and testing incremental changes locally is just a matter of hitting F5.
