Pipeline Laravel Package
illuminate/pipeline
Illuminate Pipeline provides a simple, fluent way to send an object through a series of pipes (closures or classes) in Laravel. Build customizable middleware-style workflows, transform data step by step, and control the final destination with clean, composable code.
Product Decisions This Supports
- Supports building modular, chainable workflows for features like user onboarding, data validation, or API request processing
- Enables middleware-based processing patterns for consistent handling of requests or background jobs
- Facilitates feature flagging by dynamically including/excluding pipeline steps without code changes
- Reduces technical debt through decoupled, reusable processing steps instead of monolithic code
When to Consider This Package
- ✅ Adopt when: building Laravel-based applications needing sequential processing; existing middleware patterns in use; team familiar with Laravel's ecosystem
- ❌ Avoid when: project uses non-PHP stack; processing logic is trivial (e.g., single-step); team lacks Laravel experience; or when a simpler alternative (e.g., procedural code) suffices
How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)
- Executives: "This package enables rapid development of scalable, maintainable workflows by leveraging Laravel's battle-tested pipeline pattern. It reduces time-to-market for complex features while minimizing long-term maintenance costs through modular, reusable components."
