Preventing application slowing down

[maknz]

Hi @klemenskarssen,

Since PHP isn't async, the web request to Slack will block until a response is returned, so seeing a 300ms slow down per request is expected.

As you suggested, a queue is the way to go here. I have a whole queue job class for the different Slack messages we put out, but as a simplistic example:

$message = 'Hello world';

Queue::push(function($job) use ($message)
{
    Slack::send($message);

    $job->delete();
});

You can read all about Laravel's queueing functionality here: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/queues
