Scalable internet applications and asynchronous communication
An introduction to the dropr message queue for PHP
Today's internet applications often sooner than later face the need to scale out. RPC/RMI within the cloud and across several servers can become a severe bottleneck of such applications. Depending on your setup, asynchronous messaging might be a viable answer to some of the challenges involved.
The dropr project implements an asynchronous message queue system for PHP that features
- an easy setup
- a modular and lightweight design
- a decentralized architecture with no single point of failure
- reliable and durable (failsafe) messaging
The talk will show how dropr can be used to scale out internet applications and at the same time provide for high availability.
