Laravel Batch Jobs Redis Driver

Overview

The Laravel Batch Jobs Redis Driver offers a performance-optimized alternative for handling batch jobs in Laravel. This package replaces the default MySQL job_batches table with a Redis driver, significantly improving processing efficiency, especially under heavy workloads.

Fully compatible with Laravel Horizon Batch overview:

Installation

Laravel

install

composer require "cyppe/laravel-batch-jobs-redis-driver"

Important Configuration

Before using this Redis driver, you must update your config/queue.php configuration.

Set the database key under the batching section to 'redis'. Without this adjustment, Laravel will default to using the MySQL driver.

'batching' => [
    'database'          => 'redis', // Change this from 'mysql' to 'redis'
    'redis_connection'  => 'default', // here you can define what redis connection to store batch related data in. Defaults to 'default' if not set.
    'table'             => 'job_batches',
    'debug'             => false,
],

Ensure that your Redis connection is correctly configured in Laravel to use this driver effectively.

Pruning batches

It fully supports pruning of batches with default Laravel command:

php artisan queue:prune-batches --hours=24 --unfinished=24 --cancelled=24
