Overview¶
Soong is a framework for building robust Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) applications for performing data migration. It is designed to be record-oriented and configuration-driven - many applications will require little or no custom PHP code, and tools can easily customize (or generate) data migration processes implemented by Soong.
The core of Soong is a set of interfaces defining a highly decoupled architecture. Each component (other than EtlTask
) may be used standalone, but is primarily designed to be part of an Extract→Transform→Load pipeline for processing sets of data one record at a time. At this stage of development, the main repository also includes basic implementations sufficient to build simple ETL applications and examples - before V1.0.0 is released, most implementations will be moved to separate repositories.
Installation¶
With Composer installed globally on your system, at the command line enter:
composer require soong/soong
Soong comes with some default Symfony Console commands to run your task configurations, invoked from bin/soong
, e.g.:
bin/soong migrate beeraccounts
To autoload Soong classes in your custom CLI or web application:
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
