A job
is a unit of work identified by a job id or jid
. A queue
can contain several jobs that are scheduled to be
run at a certain time, several jobs that are waiting to run, and jobs that are currently running. A worker
is a process
on a host, identified uniquely, that asks for jobs from the queue, performs some process associated with that job, and
then marks it as complete. When it's completed, it can be put into another queue.
Jobs can only be in one queue at a time. That queue is whatever queue they were last put in. So if a worker is working on a job, and you move it, the worker's request to complete the job will be ignored.
A job can be canceled
, which means it disappears into the ether, and we'll never pay it any mind ever again. A job can
be dropped
, which is when a worker fails to heartbeat or complete the job in a timely fashion, or a job can be
failed
, which is when a host recognizes some systematically problematic state about the job. A worker should only fail
a job if the error is likely not a transient one; otherwise, that worker should just drop it and let the system reclaim it.
- Jobs don't get dropped on the floor — Sometimes workers drop jobs. Qless automatically picks them back up and gives them to another worker.
- Tagging / Tracking — Some jobs are more interesting than others. Track those jobs to get updates on their progress. Tag jobs with meaningful identifiers to find them quickly in the UI.
- Topics — Deliver a job to multiple queues.
- Job Dependencies — One job might need to wait for another job to complete,
- Stats —
qless
automatically keeps statistics about how long jobs wait to be processed and how long they take to be processed. Currently, we keep track of the count, mean, standard deviation, and a histogram of these times. - Job data is stored temporarily — Job info sticks around for a configurable amount of time, so you can still look back on a job's history, data, etc.
- Priority — Jobs with the same priority get popped in the order they were inserted; a higher priority means that it gets popped faster.
- Retry logic — Every job has a number of retries associated with it, which are renewed when it is put into a new queue or completed. If a job is repeatedly dropped, then it is presumed to be problematic, and is automatically failed.
- Web App — With the advent of a Ruby client, there is a Sinatra-based web app that gives you control over certain operational issues.
- Scheduled Work — Until a job waits for a specified delay (defaults to 0), jobs cannot be popped by workers.
- Recurring Jobs — Scheduling is all well and good, but we also support jobs that need to recur periodically.
- Notifications — Tracked jobs emit events on pubsub channels as they get completed, failed, put, popped, etc. Use these events to get notified of progress on jobs you're interested in.
Prerequisite PHP extensions are:
Supported PHP versions are: 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0.
Qless PHP can be installed via Composer:
composer require pdffiller/qless-php
Alternatively, install qless-php from source by checking it out from GitHub:
git clone git://github.com/pdffiller/qless-php.git
cd qless-php
composer update
NOTE: The master
branch will always contain the latest unstable version.
If you wish to check older versions or formal, tagged release, please switch to the relevant
release.
The adm
directory contains the configuration examples useful for system administrators.
First things first, create a Qless Client. The Client accepts all the same arguments that you'd use when constructing a Predis\Client client.
use Qless\Client;
// Connect to localhost
$client1 = new Client();
// Connect to somewhere else
$client2 = new Client('127.0.0.99:1234');
Jobs should be classes that define a perform
method, which must accept a single Qless\Jobs\BaseJob
argument:
use Qless\Jobs\BaseJob;
class MyJobClass
{
/**
* @param BaseJob $job Is an instance of `Qless\Jobs\BaseJob` and provides access
* to the payload data via `$job->getData()`, a means to cancel
* the job (`$job->cancel()`), and more.
*/
public function perform(BaseJob $job): void
{
// ...
echo 'Perform ', $job->getId(), ' job', PHP_EOL;
$job->complete();
}
}
Now you can access a queue, and add a job to that queue.
/**
* This references a new or existing queue 'testing'.
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
* @var \Qless\Client $client
*/
$queue = $client->queues['testing'];
// Let's add a job, with some data. Returns Job ID
$jid = $queue->put(MyJobClass::class, ['hello' => 'howdy']);
// $jid here is "696c752a706049cdb227a9fcfe9f681b"
/**
* Now we can ask for a job.
* @var \Qless\Jobs\BaseJob $job
*/
$job = $queue->pop();
// And we can do the work associated with it!
$job->perform();
// Perform 316eb06a30d24d66ad0d33361306a7a1 job
The job data must be serializable to JSON, and it is recommended that you use a hash for it. See below for a list of the supported job options.
The argument returned by queue->put()
is the jid
(Job ID).
Every Qless job has a unique jid
, and it provides a means to interact with an existing job:
/**
* Find an existing job by it's JID
* @var string $jid
* @var \Qless\Client $client
*/
$job = $client->jobs[$jid];
// query it to find out details about it:
$job->jid; // the job id
$job->klass; // the class of the job
$job->queue; // the queue the job is in
$job->data; // the data for the job
$job->history; // the history of what has happened to the job so far
$job->dependencies; // the jids of other jobs that must complete before this one
$job->dependents; // the jids of other jobs that depend on this one
$job->priority; // the priority of this job
$job->worker; // the internal worker name (usually consumer identifier)
$job->tags; // array of tags for this job
$job->expires; // when you must either check in with a heartbeat or turn it in as completed
$job->remaining; // the number of retries remaining for this job
$job->retries; // the number of retries originally requested
$job->tracked; // is job flagged as important
$job->failed; // is job flagged as failed
// there is a way to get seconds remaining before this job will timeout:
$job->ttl();
// you can also change the job in various ways:
$job->requeue('some_other_queue'); // move it to a new queue
$job->cancel(); // cancel the job
$job->tag('foo'); // add a tag
$job->untag('foo'); // remove a tag
$job->track(); // start tracking current job
$job->untrack(); // stop tracking current job
The Qless PHP forking worker was heavily inspired by Resque's worker, but thanks to the power of the qless-core lua scripts, it is much simpler and you are welcome to write your own or use the included non-forking worker (e.g. if you'd rather save memory by not forking the worker for each job).
As with resque...
- The worker forks a child process for each job in order to provide resilience against memory leaks
(Pass the
RUN_AS_SINGLE_PROCESS
environment variable to force Qless to not fork the child process. Single process mode should only be used in some test/dev environments.) - The worker updates its procline with its status, so you can see what workers are doing using
ps
- The worker registers signal handlers so that you can control it by sending it signals
- The worker is given a list of queues to pop jobs off of
- The worker logs out put based on setting of the
Psr\Log\LoggerInterface
instance passed to worker
Resque uses queues for its notion of priority. In contrast, qless has priority support built-in. Thus, the worker supports two strategies for what order to pop jobs off the queues: ordered and round-robin. The ordered reserver will keep popping jobs off the first queue until it is empty, before trying to pop job off the second queue. The round-robin reserver will pop a job off the first queue, then the second queue, and so on. You could also easily implement your own.
To start a worker, write a bit of PHP code that instantiates a worker and runs it. You could write a simple script to do this, for example:
// The autoloader line is omitted
use Qless\Client;
use Qless\Jobs\Reservers\OrderedReserver;
use Qless\Workers\ForkingWorker;
// Create a client
$client = new Client();
// Get the queues you use.
//
// Create a job reserver; different reservers use different
// strategies for which order jobs are popped off of queues
$reserver = new OrderedReserver($client->queues, ['testing', 'testing-2', 'testing-3']);
$worker = new ForkingWorker($reserver, $client);
$worker->run();
Qless PHP also includes a non-forking worker. This can alleviate a number of issues related to external connections (such as to Redis or MySQL) from worker processes, and may give better results when using an external service manager such as systemd to manage the worker process. Usage is very similar to the forking worker:
// The autoloader line is omitted
use Qless\Client;
use Qless\Jobs\Reservers\OrderedReserver;
use Qless\Workers\SimpleWorker;
// Create a client
$client = new Client();
// Get the queues you use.
//
// Create a job reserver; different reservers use different
// strategies for which order jobs are popped off of queues
$reserver = new OrderedReserver($client->queues, ['testing', 'testing-2', 'testing-3']);
$worker = new SimpleWorker($reserver, $client);
$worker->run();
The following POSIX-compliant signals are supported in the parent process:
TERM
: Shutdown immediately, stop processing jobsINT
: Shutdown immediately, stop processing jobsQUIT
: Shutdown after the current job has finished processingUSR1
: Forking Worker: Kill the forked child immediately, continue processing jobsUSR1
: Non-Forking Worker: Abandon progress on the current job immediately, continue processing jobsUSR2
: Don't process any new jobs, and dump the current backtraceCONT
: Start processing jobs again after aUSR2
For detailed info regarding the signals refer to signal(7)
.
When using the Forking Worker, you should send these to the master process, not the child.
The child process supports the USR2
signal, which causes it to dump its current backtrace.
When using the Non-Forking worker, proper handling of USR1
signals requires that Exceptions of class
\Qless\Exceptions\SimpleWorkerContinuationException
are not caught. If your Job class, or JobPerformer
catches all Exceptions or all Throwables, you will need to re-throw instances of
\Qless\Exceptions\SimpleWorkerContinuationException
, or USR1
signals will be ignored.
There are different job reservers.
DefaultReserver
: A default job reserverOrderedReserver
: Orders queues by its namePriorityReserver
: Orders queues by its priorityRoundRobinReserver
: Round-robins through all the provided queuesShuffledRoundRobin
: Like RoundRobinReserver but shuffles the order of the queues
There is an ability to set custom Job Handler to process jobs. To do this call
\Qless\Workers\WorkerInterface::registerJobPerformHandler
method. Its argument should implement the
\Qless\Jobs\PerformAwareInterface
interface. This approach is handy when Job Handler is complicated service and/or
has dependencies. Let's look at an example in which we need to get a custom Job Handler created by external factory:
use Qless\Jobs\Reservers\OrderedReserver;
use Qless\Workers\ForkingWorker;
/**
* @var \Qless\Client $client
* @var object $jobHandlerFactory is some complicated factory which knows how to create Job Handler
*/
$jobHandler = $jobHandlerFactory->createJobHandler();
$reserver = new OrderedReserver($client->queues, 'my-queue');
$worker = new ForkingWorker($reserver, $client);
$worker->registerJobPerformHandler($jobHandler);
$worker->run();
The Qless PHP does not ship with a web app. However, there is a resque-inspired web app provided by seomoz/qless. In addition, you can take advantage of docker based dashboard. We're planning to create a robust and elegant web interface using PHP framework, but that task does not have the highest priority.
Let's say you have one job that depends on another, but the task definitions are fundamentally different. You need to bake a turkey, and you need to make stuffing, but you can't make the turkey until the stuffing is made:
/**
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
* @var \Qless\Client $client
*/
$queue = $client->queues['cook'];
$jid = $queue->put(MakeStuffing::class, ['lots' => 'of butter']);
$queue->put(
MakeTurkey::class, // The class with the job perform method.
['with' => 'stuffing'], // An array of parameters for job.
null, // The specified job id, if not a specified, a jid will be generated.
null, // The specified delay to run job.
null, // Number of retries allowed.
null, // A greater priority will execute before jobs of lower priority.
null, // An array of tags to add to the job.
[$jid] // A list of JIDs this job must wait on before executing.
);
When the stuffing job completes, the turkey job is unlocked and free to be processed.
Some jobs need to get popped sooner than others. Whether it's a trouble ticket, or debugging, you can do this pretty easily when you put a job in a queue:
/** @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue */
$queue->put(MyJobClass::class, ['foo' => 'bar'], null, null, null, 10);
What happens when you want to adjust a job's priority while it's still waiting in a queue?
/** @var \Qless\Client $client */
$job = $client->jobs['0c53b0404c56012f69fa482a1427ab7d'];
// Now this will get popped before any job of lower priority.
$job->priority = 10;
If you don't want a job to be run right away but some time in the future, you can specify a delay:
/**
* Run at least 10 minutes from now.
*
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
*/
$queue->put(MyJobClass::class, ['foo' => 'bar'], null, 600);
This doesn't guarantee that job will be run exactly at 10 minutes. You can accomplish this by changing the job's priority so that once 10 minutes has elapsed, it's put before lesser-priority jobs:
/**
* Run in 10 minutes.
*
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
*/
$queue->put(MyJobClass::class, ['foo' => 'bar'], null, 600, null, 100);
Sometimes it's not enough simply to schedule one job, but you want to run jobs regularly. In particular, maybe you have some batch operation that needs to get run once an hour, and you don't care what worker runs it. Recurring jobs are specified much like other jobs:
/**
* Run every hour.
*
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
*/
$jid = $queue->recur(MyJobClass::class, ['widget' => 'warble'], 3600);
// $jid here is "696c752a706049cdb227a9fcfe9f681b"
You can even access them in much the same way as you would normal jobs:
/**
* @var \Qless\Client $client
* @var \Qless\Jobs\RecurringJob $job
*/
$job = $client->jobs['696c752a706049cdb227a9fcfe9f681b'];
Changing the interval at which it runs after the fact is trivial:
/**
* I think I only need it to run once every two hours.
*
* @var \Qless\Jobs\RecurringJob $job
*/
$job->interval = 7200;
If you want it to run every hour on the hour, but it's 2:37 right now, you can specify an offset which is how long it should wait before popping the first job:
/**
* 23 minutes of waiting until it should go.
*
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
*/
$queue->recur(MyJobClass::class, ['howdy' => 'hello'], 3600, 23 * 60);
Recurring jobs also have priority, a configurable number of retries, and tags. These settings don't apply to the recurring jobs, but rather the jobs that they create. In the case where more than one interval passes before a worker tries to pop the job, more than one job is created. The thinking is that while it's completely client-managed, the state should not be dependent on how often workers are trying to pop jobs.
/**
* Recur every minute.
*
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue
*/
$queue->recur(MyJobClass::class, ['lots' => 'of jobs'], 60);
// Wait 5 minutes
$jobs = $queue->pop(null, 10);
echo count($jobs), ' jobs got popped'; // 5 jobs got popped
Topic help you to put job to different queues.
First, you must create subscription. You can use pattern for a name of topics.
Symbol *
- one word, #
- few words divided by point .
.
Examples: first.second.*
, *.second.*
, #.third
.
/**
* Subscribe
*
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue1
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue2
* @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue3
*/
$queue1->subscribe('*.*.apples');
$queue2->subscribe('big.*.apples');
$queue3->subscribe('#.apples');
Then you can put job to all subscribers.
/**
* Put to few queues
*
* @var \Qless\Topics\Topic
* @var \Qless\Client $client
*/
use Qless\Topics\Topic;
$topic = new Topic('big.green.apples', $client);
$topic->put('ClassName', ['key' => 'value']); // Put to $queue1, $queue2 and $queue3
You can call all Queue's public methods for Topic.
You can get and set global (read: in the context of the same Redis instance) configuration to change the behavior for
heartbeating, and so forth. There aren't a tremendous number of configuration options, but an important one is how
long job data is kept around. Job data is expired after it has been completed for jobs-history
seconds, but is limited
to the last jobs-history-count
completed jobs. These default to 50k jobs, and 30 days, but depending on volume,
your needs may change. There is also possible to configure a failed job in history,
using jobs-failed-history
parameter. To only keep the last 500 jobs for up to 7 days and failed jobs for 3 days:
/** @var \Qless\Client $client */
$client->config['jobs-history'] = 7 * 86400;
$client->config['jobs-history-count'] = 500;
$client->config['jobs-failed-history'] = 3 * 86400;
In qless, 'tracking' means flagging a job as important. Tracked jobs have a tab reserved for them in the web interface, and they also emit subscribable events as they make progress (more on that below). You can flag a job from the web interface, or the corresponding code:
/** @var \Qless\Client $client */
$client->jobs['b1882e009a3d11e192d0b174d751779d']->track();
Jobs can be tagged with strings which are indexed for quick searches. For example, jobs might be associated with customer accounts, or some other key that makes sense for your project.
/** @var \Qless\Queues\Queue $queue */
$queue->put(MyJobClass::class, ['tags' => 'aplenty'], null, null, null, null, ['12345', 'foo', 'bar']);
This makes them searchable in the web interface, or from code:
/** @var \Qless\Client $client */
$jids = $client->jobs->tagged('foo');
You can add or remove tags at will, too:
/**
* @var \Qless\Client $client
* @var \Qless\Jobs\BaseJob $job
*/
$job = $client->jobs['b1882e009a3d11e192d0b174d751779d'];
$job->tag('howdy', 'hello');
$job->untag('foo', 'bar');
Tracked jobs emit events on specific pubsub channels as things happen to them. Whether it's getting popped off of a queue, completed by a worker, etc.
An example of this is:
/**
* @var \Qless\Client $client
* @var \Qless\PubSub\Manager $events
*/
$events = $client->events;
$events->on(
Qless\PubSub\Manager::EVENT_COMPLETED,
function (string $jid) {
echo "{$jid} completed";
}
);
$events->listen();
Those familiar with redis pubsub will note that a redis connection can only be used for pubsub-y commands once listening. For this reason, invoking Client->events
actually creates a second connection so that Client
can still be used as it normally would be:
/**
* @var \Qless\Client $client
* @var \Qless\PubSub\Manager $events
*/
$events = $client->events;
$events->on(
Qless\PubSub\Manager::EVENT_FAILED,
function (string $jid) use ($client) {
echo "{$jid} failed in {$client->jobs[$jid]->queue}";
}
);
$events->listen();
The possible event types match those defined by Qless-core and are defined as constants on the \Qless\PubSub\Manager
class: EVENT_CANCELED
, EVENT_COMPLETED
, EVENT_FAILED
, EVENT_POPPED
, EVENT_STALLED
, EVENT_PUT
, EVENT_TRACK
, EVENT_UNTRACK
.
Qless also has a basic event system that can be used by your application to customize how some qless internals behave. Events can be used to inject logic before, after or around the processing of a single job in the child process. This can be useful, for example, when you need to re-establish a connection to your database for each job.
Event has few main concepts - entity
, happening
, source
.
entity
is an object type (component) with whom event is taking place, for exampleentity
can bejob
,worker
,queue
.happening
is an act that is taking place, for example it can bebeforeFork
orbeforePerform
source
is an object who fired an event
In code Event is represented by some class. All events classes are descendants of \Qless\Events\User\AbstractEvent
class.
You can get entity
and happening
of event by calling static methods getEntityName()
and getHappening()
,
you can get full name of event (made of entity
and happening
) by calling static method getName()
source
you can get with getSource()
.
Also, there are subscribers for events. Subscriber can be any class with methods named as event's happening
(example: beforeFork(AbstractEvent $event)
).
Also, subscriber can be a closure. Handling method of subscriber will receive only one parameter - event, you can get all data you need from that event.
You can attach a subscriber to a specific event or events group (grouped bye events entity
)
Example: Define a subscriber with an beforeFork
method that will be called where you want the job to be processed:
use Acme\Database\Connection;
use Qless\Events\User\AbstractEvent;
class ReEstablishDBConnection
{
private $connection;
public function __construct(Connection $connection)
{
$this->connection = $connection;
}
public function beforeFork(AbstractEvent $event): void
{
$this->connection->connect();
}
}
Then, attach a subscriber to the worker
events group:
use Qless\Events\User\Worker\AbstractWorkerEvent;
/** @var \Qless\Workers\ForkingWorker $worker */
$worker->getEventsManager()->attach(AbstractWorkerEvent::getEntityName(), new ReEstablishDBConnection());
To attach a subscriber to a specific event you can do:
use \Qless\Events\User\Worker\BeforeFork;
/** @var \Qless\Workers\ForkingWorker $worker */
$worker->getEventsManager()->attach(BeforeFork::getName(), new ReEstablishDBConnection());
You can attach subscribers as many as you want. Qless events system supports priories, so you can change default priority:
use Qless\Events\User\Worker\AbstractWorkerEvent;
/** @var \Qless\Workers\ForkingWorker $worker */
$worker->getEventsManager()->attach(AbstractWorkerEvent::getEntityName(), new MySubscriber1(), 150); // More priority
$worker->getEventsManager()->attach(AbstractWorkerEvent::getEntityName(), new MySubscriber2(), 100); // Normal priority
$worker->getEventsManager()->attach(AbstractWorkerEvent::getEntityName(), new MySubscriber10(), 50); // Less priority
As it was mentioned above, Qless supports events on a per-entity basis.
So per-job events are available if you have some orthogonal logic to run in the context of some (but not all) jobs.
Every Job Event class is a descendant of \Qless\Events\User\Job\AbstractJobEvent
and contains entity of \Qless\Jobs\BaseJob
.
To get the job from event you can use $event->getJob()
method.
Per-job subscribes can be defined the same way as worker's subscribers:
use Qless\Events\User\Job\BeforePerform;
use Qless\Jobs\BaseJob;
use Qless\Jobs\PerformAwareInterface;
use My\Database\Connection;
class ReEstablishDBConnection
{
private $connection;
public function __construct(Connection $connection)
{
$this->connection = $connection;
}
/**
* @param BeforePerform $event
* @param BaseJob|PerformAwareInterface $source
*/
public function beforePerform(BeforePerform $event, $source): void
{
$this->connection->connect();
}
}
To add them to a job class, you first have to make your job class events-aware by subscribing on the required events
group. To achieve this just implement setUp
method and subscribe to the desired events:
use Qless\Events\User\Job\AbstractJobEvent;
use Qless\Jobs\BaseJob;
use Qless\EventsManagerAwareInterface;
use Qless\EventsManagerAwareTrait;
class EventsDrivenJobHandler implements EventsManagerAwareInterface
{
use EventsManagerAwareTrait;
public function setUp()
{
$this->getEventsManager()->attach(AbstractJobEvent::getEntityName(), new ReEstablishDBConnection());
}
public function perform(BaseJob $job): void
{
// ...
$job->complete();
}
}
Note: In this scenario your job class must implement Qless\EventsManagerAwareInterface
.
Yet another example. Let's assume that job's payload should always contain additional data from the current context.
You can easily amend it using the BeforeEnqueue
subscriber:
use Qless\Events\User\Queue\BeforeEnqueue;
/** @var \Qless\Client $client */
$client
->getEventsManager()
->attach('queue:beforeEnqueue', function (BeforeEnqueue $event) {
$event->getData()['metadata'] = [
'server_address' => $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'],
];
});
Full list of events available in Qless:
Entity | Event | Class |
---|---|---|
Job | job:beforePerform |
\Qless\Events\User\Job\BeforePerform |
Job | job:afterPerform |
\Qless\Events\User\Job\AfterPerform |
Job | job:onFailure |
\Qless\Events\User\Job\OnFailure |
Worker | worker:beforeFirstWork |
\Qless\Events\User\Worker\BeforeFirstWork |
Worker | worker:beforeFork |
\Qless\Events\User\Worker\BeforeFork |
Worker | worker:afterFork |
\Qless\Events\User\Worker\AfterFork |
Queue | queue:beforeEnqueue |
\Qless\Events\User\Queue\BeforeEnqueue |
Queue | queue:afterEnqueue |
\Qless\Events\User\Queue\AfterEnqueue |
If you want your job to be processed without worker, you can set sync mode for qless client. In configuration of your project write code like this:
/** @var \Qless\Client $client */
$client->config->set('sync-enabled', true);
Now you all job will be process without a worker, synchronously.
Note: Use this feature for testing your job in development environment.
When a worker is given a job, it is given an exclusive lock to that job. That means that job won't be given to any other worker, so long as the worker checks in with progress on the job. By default, jobs have to either report back progress every 60 seconds, or complete it, but that's a configurable option. For longer jobs, this may not make sense.
$job = $queue->pop();
// How long until I have to check in?
$job->ttl(); // 59
// ...
public function perform(BaseJob $job): void
{
// some code
// if job need more time
$job->heartbeat();
// some code
$job->complete();
}
// ...
If you want to set the heartbeat in all queues,
// Set 10 minutes
$client->config->set('heartbeat', 600);
Also, you can set heartbeat for a separate queue
$client->queues['test-queue']->heartbeat = 120;
One nice feature of qless
is that you can get statistics about usage. Stats are aggregated by day,
so when you want stats about a queue, you need to say what queue and what day you're talking about.
By default, you just get the stats for today. These stats include information about the mean job wait time,
standard deviation, and histogram. This same data is also provided for job completion:

Redis doesn't allow access to the system time if you're going to be making any manipulations to data. However, Qless have heartbeating. When the client making most requests, it actually sends the current time. So, all workers must be synchronized.
Qless generate Job ID automatically, but you can set it manually.
// automatically
$queue->put($className, $data);
// manually
$queue->put($className, $data, 'abcdef123456');
For example, Job ID can be based on className and payload. It'll guaranteed that Qless won't have multiple jobs with the same class and data. Also, it helps for debugging on dev environment.
- jid
- delay
- priority
- tags
- retries
- depends
All of these options have default value. Also, you can define default job options directly on the job class:
$queue->put(
Job::class, // Class - require
['key1' => 'value1'], // Payload - require
'custom-job-id', // Manually id
10, // Delay 10 seconds
3, // Three retries
7, // Priority
['important', 'media'], // Tags
[$jidFirst, $jidSecond] // Depends jobs
);
You can use synchronize to handle jobs for testing. In this regime, all jobs will be running immediately.
