Service Bus Lite
================

[](#service-bus-lite)

Service Bus Lite is a PHP implementation of the popular NServiceBus in C#, you can find more information about a Service Bus on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_service_bus). This has been written with the influence of the popular [ShortBus](https://github.com/mhinze/ShortBus) library in C#.

\## Introduction

The idea of a service bus in a MVC Architecture is essentially a messaging queue that sits between the application logic (Controller) and your business logic (Domain). Upon firing requests at the message bus in the form of a Query or a Command, a matching Handler will be found and executed.

Your Handler will do your logic dependant on the type of request:

- Query - A query is your read layer and will request information such as fetching all users who are from a specific country. This should be a layer that talks to your persistance or cache layer and should NEVER do write actions.
- Command - A command is your write layer and will send information to your application such as creating records in your persistance layer, writing to logs etc.

### How do I get started?
