on every code change, don't forget to restart

• php artisan queue:restart

production (normally used with supervisor)

• php artisan queue:work --sleep=3 --tries=1 --memory=768 --timeout=10800

test queue locally

• php artisan queue:work --env=production --sleep=3 --tries=1 --memory=768 --timeout=3600
• php artisan queue:listen --env=production --sleep=3 --tries=1 --memory=768 --timeout=3600 # does not need restarts, but is less more efficient

get queue size

\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Queue::size();

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM jobs

clear queue

• php artisan queue:clear

use named queues

• ExampleQueue::dispatch()->onQueue('queue_name');
• php artisan queue:work --queue=queue_name
• Queue::size('queue_name')
• php artisan queue:clear --queue=queue_name
