Hey folks,
I'm working on an app that makes a longer-running (couple of seconds) HTTP request from a controller upon user action (e.g. the user clicks a button, it then triggers a livewire action which does an external HTTP request). My concern is that I'm blocking a process with this and that it wouldn't scale well. What's the best practice here? Is there an async option, or should I maybe turn this into an artisan command and spawn it as an async process?
Thanks in advance
For clarification: if it was Go, I'd be using a goroutine, and if it was Python, I'd use aiohttp - that's the kind of solution I'm potentially looking for.
Also, I was thinking that eventually as it scales I'll need to respect the external API's rate limit, so maybe the best way is to already turn this into a job with a worker pool. I'm new to Laravel, and I'm not sure if this is the canonical way.
