When scaling and traffic becomes an issue for your site, a job queue or asynchronous processing can be a powerful tool to alleviate load on your application. With Gearman, PHP developers can easily set up a job server and "workers" to perform non-time critical jobs for things like logging, image processing or other events that could put an unneeded load on your web server during an HTTP request and degrade your site's experience. Join Michael Moussa as he walks you through the basics of setting up a Gearman job server, writing clients to communicate with it, creating workers to do the heavy lifting, and of course, setting up tests to ensure everything keeps running smoothly. After the basics are out of the way, he'll go into some pitfalls to watch out for when working with Gearman, as well as some tricks to make development easier.
