I have worked on NodeJs and Redis before. Since NodeJs is a web server I could maintain a single connection to Redis and all the http requests use same Redis client to connect to Redis.
But in PHP each page upon HTTP request creates a new connection to Redis Server and this is slowing down the performance. How do they maintain the connection state in PHP? It must be same issue with PHP-Mysql too so I guess there are solutions out there?

    The way php works, it that it is a program, not a server. Every time you request a page on your web server, PHP is called to run the program. Once the page is done loading, the thread is ended. PHP is not a server, so once a page is done loading, all connections associated with it are terminated. Therefor, every time a page is requested, a new connection to the database has to be made. If you are noticing a performance issue when connecting, you should try php-redis if you are not already doing so.
