Demo RabbitMQ implementation in PHP

Using php-amqplib/php-amqplib with a full dockerised setup to minimise setup and provide a fully working environment. Based on https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-two-php.html

This setup works on Macs and Linux, not tested on Windows

Start stack

make up

Once rabbitMQ is started you can see the queue in the management console at http://localhost:15672/#/queues

Send several messages

This steps calls the sender infinitely to start queueing messages. Notice that the queue will grow considerably so to stop it do it in your console with CTRL + C (or similar depending on your Operating system)

make push_jobs

See the logs

make tail

Stop the stack

make down
