Server to Server Events (or Broadcasting)

[dellow]

Hi All,

Am I right in thinking it's not currently possible to publish an event (or broadcast) from one Laravel app and consume it in an entirely separate app?

I've used broadcasting a lot, but it seems built for server to client communication not server to server. Ideally though I'd like to use the EventServiceProvider and publish events to a service like AWS SNS or Pusher.

I've tried a lot of Googling to get an answer for this but it's not really widely covered. I would have thought in the world of microservices this might be extremely useful.

As a side note, I'm not building a bunch microservices here, just two apps that occasionally need to talk to each other.

Thanks.

AFAIK broadcasting is more server to client, and events is more internal to an instance of Laravel.

Event communications between different Laravel instances in different webservers is effectively RPC, but I expect that it might be possible using Broadcasting.
