README

A wrapper around AWS services to make the easier to use in PHP.

Quickstart

PHP on Bare Metal

Clone project

git clone git@github.com:jstormes/AWSTools.git

cd AWSTools

Use composer to install AWS dependencies

composer install

Make sure AWS is set up for you CLI environment.

You should have .aws in your home directory with proper credentials and config files. Your access_key MUST have permissions to create CloudWatch Logs and Streams.

Run the demos:

./bin/cli-demo-minimal.php

./bin/cli-demo-lazy-vs-direct.php

./bin/cli-demo-dynamic-severity.php

./bin/cli-demo-formatters.php

./bin/cli-demo-log-context-obj.php

Look in the CloudWatch logs to see the output from the examples.

PHP in Docker

TBD

Known issues

• If you have two PHP apps running at the same time and logging to the same stream, you will have issues with sequenceToken, this will cause a performance issue. You need to make sure each PHP Application instance (aka Docker Instance) gets its own stream. My current ideas is to use the HOSTNAME as it is unique to each Docker instance as part of the stream name.

• An extension of the previous issue is two long-running scrips on the same docker instance. It might be necessary to use shared memory and lock to make sure the sequenceToken is correct across the two running PHP instances. Embrace the statelessness of the cloud!!! Or let the call fail and try to recover the sequenceToken, that might be a performance nightmare.

To Do

• Allow S3 file for stack dump.
• Better use of Stream Naming, not sure how but perhaps something with the Formatter
• Create examples of try catch use case
• Create examples of set_error_handler use case
• Create ZF2 DI use case example
• Create squelch option and use case examples
• Create method for chaining formatter
• Create example of using formatter to call a new instance of Logs
