Laravel Queue & Job System: From Table Creation to Production Deployment
July 1, 2025🚀 Laravel Queue & Job System
We’re gonna walk you through Laravel queues from setup to deploying in production using Supervisor.
Step 1: Create queue tables
Run these commands:
php artisan queue:table
php artisan queue:failed-table
php artisan queue:batches-table
php artisan migrate
Step 2: Monitor failed jobs
Run:
php artisan queue:failed
You’ll get a list with ID, connection, exception, and timestamp.
Step 3: Retry failed jobs
php artisan queue:retry 5 # retry single job
php artisan queue:retry all # retry all failed jobs
Step 4: Delete failed jobs
php artisan queue:flush
Step 5: Prune old failed jobs
php artisan queue:prune-failed # older than 24h
php artisan queue:prune --hours=48 # older than 48h
Step 6: Retry logic with backoff
Examples:
php artisan queue:work --tries=2
php artisan queue:work --queue=notification --tries=2 --backoff=1200
php artisan queue:work --queue=notification --tries=2 --backoff=10,20
Step 7: Job batches
Use batches to group jobs (e.g., sending 10,000 emails) and track overall progress, retries, and notifications.
Step 8: Production deployment with Supervisor
Supervisor restarts your queue workers on failure. Example config:
[program:laravel-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work --tries=3 --backoff=30 --timeout=120 --max-jobs=1000 --max-time=3600 --sleep=3 --reset=1
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=www-data
numprocs=2
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/laravel-worker.log
Save to /etc/supervisor/conf.d/laravel-worker.conf
, then:
sudo supervisorctl reread
sudo supervisorctl update
sudo supervisorctl start laravel-worker:*
