Queues & Jobs

​

Overview

​

Configuration

QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

​

Named queues

​

Starting workers

# Process all queues
php artisan queue:work --queue=client_refresh,default

# Process only client_refresh (priority)
php artisan queue:work --queue=client_refresh

# With timeout and memory limit
php artisan queue:work --queue=client_refresh,default --timeout=60 --memory=128

​

What gets queued

​

Failed jobs

​

View failed jobs

php artisan queue:failed

​

Retry failed jobs

# Retry a specific job
php artisan queue:retry {id}

# Retry all failed jobs
php artisan queue:retry all

​

Clear failed jobs

php artisan queue:flush

​

Database tables

​

Monitoring

• Number of pending jobs: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM jobs
• Number of failed jobs: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM failed_jobs
• Job processing time in Telescope (development)

​

Production tips

1. Run multiple workers for high-throughput scenarios
2. Use Redis instead of database for better queue performance
3. Set up alerts for failed jobs
4. Use --tries=3 to automatically retry failed jobs
5. Monitor memory usage with --memory=128
