What types of workflows does this skill support?

It supports three main patterns: stateful Sagas (process managers), stateless handler chains via InternalHandlers, and Enterprise Orchestrators using routing slips.

How do I test Ecotone workflows?

The skill includes testing patterns using EcotoneLite, covering saga state verification, event recording, and simulating asynchronous message consumption.

How do Sagas maintain state in Ecotone?

Sagas function like aggregates; they use the #[Identifier] attribute and are stored in a repository, allowing them to track progress across multiple events over time.

What is the benefit of using an Orchestrator over a Saga?

Orchestrators (Enterprise) allow you to define a centralized routing slip of steps, separating the workflow definition from the individual handler logic, whereas Sagas are reactive.

Can I use this for asynchronous processing?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for using #[Asynchronous] and #[Delayed] attributes to ensure workflows can run in the background without blocking the main process.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements complex business processes, stateful sagas, and orchestrated workflows using the Ecotone Framework in PHP.

This skill enables developers to build and manage multi-step business processes using the Ecotone Framework. It provides specialized guidance for implementing stateful Sagas to handle long-running processes, stateless handler chaining for streamlined data processing, and enterprise-grade Orchestrators using the routing slip pattern. By leveraging these patterns, developers can create resilient, event-driven architectures that coordinate complex interactions between commands and events while maintaining clear domain boundaries.

Key Features

01Standardized testing patterns for verifying complex process logic.

02Enterprise Orchestrators with dynamic routing slip patterns.

03Asynchronous and delayed execution support for resilient workflows.

04Stateless handler chaining using #[InternalHandler] and output channels.

05Stateful Saga implementation for long-running, event-driven processes.
