We needed our e-commerce platform (built using WooCommerce) to be able to keep products in sync with our #pim (provided by #akeneo) which is built in Symfony . We hooked into the kernel.event_listener to send RabbitMQ messages to a WordPress API endpoint that triggers the updated product to rebuild with fresh data.

We use RabbitMQ because we needed a simple messenger bus to improve on api message reliability. Rabbit allows us to trigger long running processes that reliably fire and log every line server to server communication.
