A framework for PHP batch processing
- 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.
- 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
More than other common software artifacts, heavy processes must be thought and architected way more thoroughly
- Parallelization
- StopWatcher (for time-boxed batches)
- Manual Stop for Business Reasons
- Retry
- Skip
- Logging
- Events
- Chaining
