I am reading the documentation at Laravel under the heading Architecture Concepts.
I am unable to understand application and usage of Console Kernel .(not the Http Kernel) However, I googled out and found these links
https://laravel.com/api/5.2/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/Kernel.html https://laravel.com/api/5.3/Illuminate/Contracts/Console/Kernel.html
But I can't understand anything with that API !
The HTTP Kernel is used to process requests that come in through the web (HTTP). Website requests, AJAX, that kind of stuff.
The Console Kernel is used when you interact with your application from the command line. If you use artisan, or when a scheduled job is processed, or when a queued job is processed, all of these actions go through the Console Kernel.
Basically, if you go through index.php, you'll be using the HTTP Kernel. Most everything else will be using the Console Kernel.
