Abstract

There comes a point in time with a website when eventually need to do something in the background. There are always cron jobs, but eventually those either don’t scale well, or are not responsive enough. Learn about how to help your website efficiently scale by using workers. We’ll touch briefly the fundamental theory behind workers and how to easily implement them. We’ll learn about several different technologies to help manage workers such as Beanstalkd, Supervisord, Redis, and others. We’ll show a live demo of PHP workers performing tasks and you’ll leave with sound understanding of how to implement workers in your own application.

PHP Workers with Redis & Solo

I’ve come across an awesome combination of tools for managing PHP Workers, and thought I’d share.

Why Workers?

Sometimes there are situations when you want to parallel process things. Other times you might have a list of tasks to accomplish, and you don’t want to make the user wait after pressing a button. This is where “Workers” can come in. They are independent scripts that run along side of your application, performing tasks, or “jobs.”
