Replace Broadway

[jorge07]

More than a year without broadway release and seems quite out of date.

Options:

• eventsauce?
• prooph?
• Create a new one....?

Maybe using the new messenger component?

The symfony messenger library is about transport but not about DDD or Event sourcing.
BTW the pr for symfony messenger is open and still wip. I really want to see it working

[rogerguasch]

From the official documentation of eventsauce:

The library is focused purely around event sourcing, not full-blown CQRS/ES. If you need that, I recommend checking out Prooph or Broadway. These libraries have a higher level of entry but provide an “everything you need is right here” experience.

and the future of prooph... https://www.sasaprolic.com/2018/08/the-future-of-prooph-components.html

Service-Bus:
When it was originally developed, there was no good alternative out there. In the meantime symfony shipped its own messenger component (I looked into it, it looks really great!) and sooner or later, it will probably have more downloads then our famous service-bus implementation.

@rogerguasch thanks a lot for all this info. I start thinking in prooph as only real alternative out there

hi!! there is news about the replacement?
I mean another question is what kind of implementation?

"Standard prooph implementation" VS "custom prooph implementation"

Full Prooph = EventStore + serviceBus ProophCommon eventSourcing ecc... all deprecated package with 1 year support

Custom Prooph = Only EventStore + (tactician? simpleBus? messenger?)

Broadway just tag a new release 2.1

[jorge07]

Still missing some important features for us like reply events -> broadway/broadway#361

[jorge07]

At least I guess I'll be able to upgrade to symfony 4.2

[Lutacon]

IIRC with this new release, we could upgrade phpstan and some other packages.

But we should definitely look for a replacement here.

[jorge07]

Thinking about implement event replay abstraction and snapshots here and close this issue as broadway seems good enough

[jorge07]

Closing as we haven't found any better
