Reference:

• Amazon SQS https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-how-it-works.html
• Laravel Queues https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues

Objective:

• The objective of this POC is to create a job and queue it in Amazon SQS
• Then laravel queue:worker will read from queue and execute the job.

How the POC works

• Create Amazon IAM user with SQS rights.
• Copy the ACCESS_ID, SECRET_KEY and REGION in your .env file
• Also update your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• Navigate to / index page of the project. And queue a website for crawling
• Once the message is queue, execute php artisan queue:work command

To make the queue run automatically setup supervisord along with the artisan queue worke command.

Extra:

• Standard Queue: Use this queue when order of execution of jobs is not important as order might not be preserved in this queue.
• FIFO Queue: Use this queue when order of execution of jobs is important. FIFO queues are also durable.
