As an application grows, some responsibilities want to live on their own — their own deploy cadence, their own scaling, their own team. Billing is a classic example. In this post we'll extract billing into a separate service and have our Orders application talk to it using the bowphp/microservice package over Redis.

We'll use both communication modes the package offers:

• Request/Response (RPC) with send() — when Orders needs an answer back.
• Fire-and-forget (Event) with emit() — when Orders just wants to announce that something happened.
