What problem does it solve?
Offload slow, blocking, or retry-prone work from request handlers to asynchronous background workers so web requests remain fast and resilient.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Job class creation and dependency injection for encapsulating discrete units of work.
- Queue configuration and routing to database, Redis, or SQS backends with delayed dispatch and worker pool management.
- Retry handling, failed-job tracking, idempotent job patterns, chaining jobs, and monitoring for production workflows.
- Use case: Send welcome emails and generate reports asynchronously, route high-priority jobs to a Redis-backed queue while keeping bulk jobs on a database queue.
Quick Start
Create and configure a SendWelcomeEmailJob that dispatches to the emails queue using the database connection with a 30-second delay.
