README

Dublin is a maintained and modernized fork of the original Broadway project.

It provides infrastructure and testing helpers for building CQRS and Event Sourced applications in PHP, with a strong focus on explicit models, clear boundaries and minimal framework intrusion.

Dublin continues the original vision of Broadway while evolving it to support modern PHP versions and current development practices.

Fork origin and intent

Dublin is a fork of the Broadway project
(https://github.com/broadway/broadway), originally developed by the Broadway contributors and the team at Qandidate.

The original project is no longer actively maintained.
The goal of Dublin is to:

• keep the project alive and maintained
• support modern PHP versions (8.4+)
• modernize tooling, CI and testing infrastructure
• evolve the codebase while preserving the original design philosophy

Where possible, Dublin aims to remain API-compatible with Broadway.

About

Like Broadway, Dublin provides a set of loosely coupled components that can be used independently or together to build CQRS and Event Sourced systems.

Dublin intentionally stays out of your way: no mandatory frameworks, no hidden magic, no forced architectural choices.
