FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package apache-kafka
Apache Kafka Queue Service for Laravel 12.x 13.x
A Laravel queue driver backed by Apache Kafka (tested against
Confluent Cloud). It lets you dispatch Laravel jobs to a Kafka
topic and process them with the standard queue:work worker.
Requirements
- PHP
^8.4 - Laravel
^12.0 | ^13.0 - The
rdkafkaPHP extension (built on top oflibrdkafka) - A reachable Kafka cluster (self-hosted or Confluent Cloud)
Required before starting
If you are using Confluent Cloud, create an account at https://www.confluent.io/, create a new project and provision an "Apache Kafka on Confluent Cloud" cluster, then create an API key/secret that will be used as the SASL username/password below.
Make sure the rdkafka extension is installed and enabled before installing the package:
Installation
1. Install the rdkafka PHP extension
A ready-to-use container is provided under
docker/(PHP 8.4 withlibrdkafkaandrdkafkaalready compiled). Run it withdocker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml up.
2. Require the package via Composer
The service provider (Siberfx\Kafka\KafkaServiceProvider) is auto-discovered — no manual
registration required.
Configuration
1. Add a kafka connection to config/queue.php
The connector reads its settings from the queue connection config. Add the following entry under
connections:
2. Set your .env
For a local, unauthenticated broker use
KAFKA_SECURITY_PROTOCOL=PLAINTEXTand leave the SASL values empty.
3. (Optional) Publish the package config
This publishes config/kafka-config.php, which you can use to hold your own Kafka-related
values. Note that the queue driver itself is configured from config/queue.php (step 1).
Usage
Define a job
Dispatch a job
Run the worker
The worker subscribes to the given Kafka topic and processes incoming messages:
Pushing a raw job
You can also push directly through the Queue facade:
Limitations
This driver implements the core produce/consume path. The following are not yet supported:
- Delayed dispatch —
->delay()/later()is a no-op; messages are produced immediately or not at all. - Queue size —
size()is not implemented, soqueue:monitorand size-based logic won't work. - Failed jobs & retries —
pop()calls the job'shandle()directly and does not integrate with Laravel'sfailed_jobs, retry, or release mechanisms. A throwing job is logged, not retried. - Trusted payloads only — consumed messages are unserialized into job objects. Restrict write access to your topics to your own applications.
