    January, 13

  3. Problem • Daily prayer reminders via Facebook. • Facebook publishing

    is failing. • Cron Jobs & messy MySQL gymnastics. • Unable to reach audience fully. Tuesday, 29 January, 13

  4. Solution • Implement a queuing system that can be scaled

    onto multiple servers. • Use Beanstalkd & PHPQueue. • Batch processing using Facebook's batch request API. Tuesday, 29 January, 13

  5. PHP-Queue https://github.com/miccheng/php-queue https://packagist.org/packages/coderkungfu/php-queue Tuesday, 29 January, 13

  6. Result • Increase reach by 80%. • Facebook Page Likes

    increased from 12,000 to 15,000 in a few weeks. • Zero maintenance. • Git deployment using Bitbucket. Tuesday, 29 January, 13

  7. Lessons Learnt • Facebook's Batch Request API does not work

    as advertised. • Continuous Deployment is a god-sent. • Continuous Integration is important, even in small projects. Tuesday, 29 January, 13
