[💡 FEATURE REQUEST]: Custom worker

No response

I have an idea!

I have an idea, listen to me!!

Can I customize the worker? Like HTTP, I can define commands, pools, etc

rpc:
  listen: tcp://127.0.0.1:6001

server:
  command: "php worker.php"

http:
  address: "0.0.0.0:8080"

worker:
  - name: myWorker
    command: "php my-worker.php"
    pool:
      num_workers: 4

logs:
  level: error

I hope to rely on the resident memory feature of roadrunner to implement my own worker.

Hey @Yurunsoft, this is a good idea. But, from the RR2 POV, this is not a worker (like in the RR1), it's the pool. We already have similar a proposal: https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner-plugins/issues/36

@Yurunsoft You are saying about worker customization, what do you mean here?

[Yurunsoft]

I hope to write an endless loop in the custom worker process to achieve some functions, such as cron. Temporal is too bloated.

To create your own worker you only need to implement the goridge protocol to communicate with the RR: https://github.com/spiral/goridge/blob/master/pkg/frame/frame.md

It's already implemented in the https://github.com/spiral/goridge-php library. You may have a look at the https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner-worker
