Laravel Queue Processing System

A simple Laravel app that handles payment processing using queues and Redis. It's built to be reliable and easy to monitor.

What's Inside

• Payment processing using Laravel queues
• Redis for handling the queue
• Jobs that retry automatically if they fail
• Proper error handling and logging
• A command to check if the queue is healthy "half done"
• An API endpoint to create orders

Getting Started

Using Laravel Sail

1. Start everything up:

./vendor/bin/sail up -d

2. Run the migrations:

./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate

3. Run the tests:

./vendor/bin/sail artisan test

4 - Run horizon queue

./vendor/bin/sail artisan horizon

5. Check your jobs in Horizon:

http://localhost/horizon/

5. Test the queue with this curl command to simulate the API call of create order:

curl -X POST http://localhost/api/create-order \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "user_id": 1,
    "amount": 51231.00
  }'

Future Improvements

• Add batching for failed jobs
• Set up alerts and notifications
• Add more monitoring features
