Sure! This eBook is a collection of real-world challenges with solutions that actually run in production. These are challenges I met while building products at Laravel and others collected while supporting the framework users for the past four years.
But before the challenges—and because every good technical book includes a crash course—we will explore the key components of a queue system, see how queues are used in Laravel, and understand why we need to use them.

I wrote this book with three goals in mind; I wanted it to be:
- Practical; more code than talk.
- Short; comprehensive yet concise.
- Good looking.
We studied differential equations in high school, but because we couldn't see any use case for them, they were forgotten minutes after the final exam, right? To fix that, I covered every queue configuration and technique by using it to solve a real-world problem.
I also show you the rough edges by hitting them. We'll sit in a flight simulator and let our plane crash before I explain why we crashed and how to avoid that.
Regarding the good looking part. You will get the book PDF in two versions; light and dark. I put a lot of effort into making both versions nice to look at. Because I believe a technical book doesn't have to look boring.

Inside the book, I'm going to show you how you may solve problems like:
- Handling a long-running report generation job.
- Dispatching and monitoring a large batch of jobs.
- Dealing with strict API rate limits.
- Minimizing the effect of external failure by using circuit breakers and bulkheading.
- Managing jobs with high priority.
- Preserving a strict order of data processing.
- Handling a complex workflow that involves parallel and sequential jobs.
- Choosing the right queue driver for your application.
- Handling job failure.
- Scaling workers in response to variable loads.
- Keeping the worker processes running.
- Recovering from crashes.
- Choosing the right machine—in terms of CPU/Memory—for running workers.
- Processing queues in a serverless environment.
- ... and more!
Laravel Queues in Action is an insightful guide to not only using queues in Laravel, but also managing and running them efficiently at scale. It is packed with examples and tips on many scaling challenges that I wish I didn’t have to learn The Hard Way™️.

Mohamed is the king of queues! This book covers every aspect of queueing and you’ll be a master of queues in no time. I learnt so much in just the first few pages alone!

I don't know anyone else with the amount of knowledge about queues in Laravel than Mohamed. The perfect teacher for this subject.

We at PingPing.io use queues to a large scale. We process more than 20,000 jobs per minute, spread across more than 1,000 processes. Although I have a lot of experience with queues, I learned so many new things in Mohamed's book that I did not know. There is a deep insight into queues. For me it was a no-brainer and insta buy.

Laravel Queues in Action is full of practical first hand examples that I can implement in my application today. I changed a bunch of my jobs with examples from the book. Highly recommend it even if you think you know a lot about the Queue system already.

The book takes you from zero to expert level. It has real-world examples and knowledge that I wish I knew years ago.

👋 Hello There!
I'm Mohamed Said. A web developer at Laravel.
I've spent the past 4 years working on high-traffic apps such as Forge, Envoyer, and lately Vapor. These apps rely heavily on queued jobs to function.
During this time, I've been sharing interesting things I learn on my Diving Laravel publication. And in this book, I've put everything I learned about Laravel queues.
Adam Wathan — Creator of Tailwind CSSEver since he started the Diving Laravel project, I've been impressed by Mohamed's ability to take complex ideas and distill them for the average Laravel user. As Laravel employee #1, there's not many people out there I'd trust to teach me framework best practices more than him.

Zuzana Kunckova — Creator of LarabellesWhat I especially appreciated is how Mohamed defines the technical terms used in the book using simple words and avoiding overcomplicated technical terminology. In fact, the whole book is very accessible because of the language Mohamed uses. Having finished the book, I’m walking away with a solid understanding of Laravel Queues, and I would recommend it without hesitation! Great job, Mohamed!
