Overview

Summary

Dotkernel Queue is a Symfony Messenger-based component that lets Mezzio and Laminas applications hand off slow or unreliable work to background workers instead of processing it inline.

Details

Dotkernel Queue is a component based on Symfony Messenger that is used to queue asynchronous tasks. netglue/laminas-messenger is an adapter that integrates Symfony Messenger with the Laminas Service Manager container for Mezzio/Laminas applications.

Some everyday operations are time-consuming and resource-intensive, so it's best if they run on separate machines, decoupled from the regular request-response cycle. Asynchronous execution performed by background workers ensures that these operations won't overload the main platform. It allows the main platform to return a response and remain responsive for new requests, while tasks with long execution times are scheduled to run later.

FAQ

Q: What is Dotkernel Queue built on?

A: It's based on Symfony Messenger, integrated into Mezzio/Laminas applications through the netglue/laminas-messenger adapter for the Laminas Service Manager container.

Q: Why run tasks asynchronously instead of inline?

A: Time-consuming or resource-intensive operations would otherwise block the request-response cycle; running them on background workers keeps the main platform responsive to new requests.

Q: Where can I find the project's build and license status?

A: See the badges above, which link to the GitHub issues, forks, stars, license, CI, code coverage, and static analysis pages for the dotkernel/queue repository.
