Laravel Queue Cheat Sheet and Usage Guide

Queue Cheat Sheet

Queue is Laravel's queue helper that allows you to dispatch background jobs.

Queue::push('SendMail', array('message' => $message));

Another example using a class method:

Queue::push('SendEmail@send', array('message' => $message));

Using a closure:

Queue::push(function($job) use $id { /* ... */ });

Bulk dispatching multiple jobs:

Queue::bulk(array('SendEmail', 'NotifyUser'), $payload);

Common Artisan commands for managing queues:

php artisan queue:listen

php artisan queue:listen connection

php artisan queue:listen --timeout=60

php artisan queue:work

php artisan queue:work --daemon

Failed‑job handling commands:

php artisan queue:failed-table (create migration)

php artisan queue:failed (list failed jobs)

php artisan queue:forget 5 (delete a failed job by ID)

php artisan queue:flush (delete all failed jobs)

Running a worker with increased memory limit:

php artisan queue:work --memory=50
