A Durable Workflow Engine in PHP Powered by Laravel Queues

 Programing Coderfunda     November 29, 2022     Laravel, laravel-packages, php     No comments   

 

Laravel Workflow is a Durable workflow engine that allows users to write long-running persistent distributed workflows (orchestrations) in PHP powered by Laravel Queues.

Installation

This library is installable via Composer. You must also publish the migrations for the workflows table.

composer require laravel-workflow/laravel-workflow

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Workflow\Providers\WorkflowServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Usage

  1. Create a workflow.
class MyWorkflow extends Workflow
{
    public function execute()
    {
        $result = yield ActivityStub::make(MyActivity::class);
        return $result;
    }
}
  1. Create an activity.
class MyActivity extends Activity
{
    public function execute()
    {
        return 'activity';
    }
}
  1. Run the workflow.
$workflow = WorkflowStub::make(MyWorkflow::class);
$workflow->start();
while ($workflow->running());
$workflow->output();
=> 'activity'

Signals

Using WorkflowStub::await() along with signal methods allows a workflow to wait for an external event.

class MyWorkflow extends Workflow
{
    private bool $isReady = false;

    #[SignalMethod]
    public function ready()
    {
        $this->isReady = true;
    }

    public function execute()
    {
        $result = yield ActivityStub::make(MyActivity::class);

        yield WorkflowStub::await(fn () => $this->isReady);

        $otherResult = yield ActivityStub::make(MyOtherActivity::class);

        return $result . $otherResult;
    }
}

The workflow will reach the call to WorkflowStub::await() and then hibernate until some external code signals the workflow like this.

$workflow->ready();

Timers

Using WorkflowStub::timer($seconds) allows a workflow to wait for a fixed amount of time in seconds.

class MyWorkflow extends Workflow
{
    public function execute()
    {
        $result = yield ActivityStub::make(MyActivity::class);

        yield WorkflowStub::timer(300);

        $otherResult = yield ActivityStub::make(MyOtherActivity::class);

        return $result . $otherResult;
    }
}

The workflow will reach the call to WorkflowStub::timer() and then hibernate for 5 minutes. After that time has passed, it will continue execution.

Signal + Timer

In most cases you don't want to wait forever for a signal.

Instead, you want to wait for some amount of time and then give up. It's possible to combine a signal with a timer yourself to achieve this but a convenience method exists to do this for you, WorkflowStub::awaitWithTimeout().

$result = yield WorkflowStub::awaitWithTimeout(300, fn () => $this->isReady);

This will wait like the previous signal example but it will timeout after 5 minutes. If a timeout occurs, the result will be false.

Failed Workflows

If a workflow fails or crashes at any point then it can be resumed from that point. Any activities that were successfully completed during the previous execution of the workflow will not be run again.

$workflow = WorkflowStub::load(1);
$workflow->resume();
while ($workflow->running());
$workflow->output();
=> 'activity'

Retries

A workflow will only fail when the retries on the failing activity have been exhausted.

The default activity retry policy is to retry activities forever with an exponential backoff that decays to 2 minutes. If your activity fails because of a transient error (something that fixes itself) then it will keep retrying and eventually recover automatically. However, if your activity fails because of a permanent error then you will have to fix it manually via a code deploy and restart your queue workers. The activity will then retry again using the new code and complete successfully.

Workflows and activities are based on Laravel Queues so you can use any options you normally would.
