README

A round robin load balancing queue for multiple queue connections in Laravel or Lumen.

Works well with multiple biigle/laravel-remote-queue connections.

Installation

composer require biigle/laravel-round-robin-queue

Laravel

The service provider is auto-discovered by Laravel.

Lumen

Add $app->register(Biigle\RoundRobinQueue\RoundRobinQueueServiceProvider::class); to bootstrap/app.php.

Set up

The round robin queue requires a persistent cache to work correctly. Make sure you have a cache set up and don't use the array cache.

Usage

Configure a new queue connection in queue.connections to use the roundrobin diver like this:

// queue.connections
[
 'rr' => [
    'driver' => 'roundrobin',
    'queue' => 'default',
    'connections' => ['q1', 'q2'],
 ],
 'q1' => [/* ... */],
 'q2' => [/* ... */],
]

The connection expects the additional config options queue and connections. The queue option sets the default queue name to which new jobs should be pushed. The connections option sets the other queue connections that should be used for load balancing.

Whenever you push a new job to the queue with the roundrobin driver, it will forward it to one of the connections that are configured in connections, in a round robin fashion. Example:

use Queue;

$queue = Queue::connection('rr');

$queue->push($job1); // Pushed to connection 'q1'.
$queue->push($job2); // Pushed to connection 'q2'.
$queue->push($job3); // Pushed to connection 'q1'.
$queue->push($job4); // Pushed to connection 'q2'.
