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';
