README

A framework for PHP batch processing

Motivation

• scalability for medium to large applications (let the servers to serve, and keep heavy processing in another offline place)
• PHP is popular and is getting better every day, in tools and community. And there is no such tool yet for PHP.
• Aside mainframe and big data worlds, apparently there is only Spring Batch, a Java framework for this sort of processing, and yes, this work is highly inspirated by it.

Use cases

• images processing (resizing, watermarks, upload to CDN servers)
• processing credit cards payments
• weekly, end of month, quarters, etc, reports generation
• sending transactional notifications
• data sync between systems (ERP to CRM, for example)
• enterprise partners files transfer and processing

Be Warned!

More than other common software artifacts, heavy processes must be thought and architected way more thoroughly

Features

• Parallelization
• StopWatcher (for time-boxed batches)
• Manual Stop for Business Reasons
• Retry
• Skip
• Logging
• Events
• Chaining
