🏆 Honors: Rookie of the year
🥜 NUTS
Bridge NATS subjects to browser‑friendly Server‑Sent Events with a single Caddy directive.
A tiny Caddy module that turns any NATS subject into an SSE stream — no extra service, no glue code.
Symfony Messenger transport for NATS with JetStream persistence support.
Drop‑in bridge that lets Symfony apps treat NATS / JetStream as a first‑class transport — perfect if you're moving off RabbitMQ or want async + replay in one place.
Pure‑PHP client for NATS JetStream — the lower‑level building block that powers the Symfony bundle above.
Friendly wrapper around SSH2 / SFTP for PHP — simplifies upload / download over SSH / SCP / SFTP. Battle‑tested over the years and still one of the most popular IDCT libraries.
