Create an 'admin service' in PHP

[austinlparker]

Objective

Create an 'admin service' written in PHP for the web store.

The following features should be supported:

• Authentication for 'admin users'
• UI for CRUD operations on items in the product catalog.
• API for CRUD operations on items in the product catalog.

Linking to the issue in the php repo: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php#658

@bobstrecansky should I assign the current issue owner to this as well?

Sounds good!

As discussed in the #otel-community-demo slack channel, we can also use Apache WebServer to host 'Admin Service' in PHP through mod_php. Apache instrumentation is already available to generate spans and traces.

@DebajitDas
Thank you.
However we most likely would prefer not to use Apache, as that's a bit outdated, or in fact any web-sever (Nginx,, Caddy, etc.) as a runtime, but a modern faster runtime as Swoole or Roadrunner.

Hey @tidal, @bobstrecansky, is there an update on this? We merged the rust service today, so PHP is the remaining outstanding language not present.

As discussed with @cartersocha I will create a PR with basic service setup as a draft.
This service will feature roadrunner with OpenTelemetry middleware as an app server.
API Platform will make the implementation of auth and API easy.
It also allows to generate an admin ui from the API.

@austinlparker can we have this ticket closed?
I believe we do not need an admin service anymore, as PHP was covered in the Quote Service.

Closing this!
