How we rebuilt background jobs on Laravel Cloud

Solutions Engineer Devon Garbalosa and Kieran Brown, Senior Software Engineer on the infrastructure team, walk through how Laravel Cloud's managed queues autoscale workers, drop to zero when idle, and wake in under a second, so your team can hand off the operational work of running background jobs.

What you'll learn:

  • Why queues are one of Laravel's foundational primitives, and how offloading slow work to background jobs is what keeps real applications responsive at scale

  • Why background job infrastructure keeps causing the same three problems: unreliable throughput, invisible failures, and paying for compute that sits idle

  • How managed queues autoscale workers based on queue pressure, message age, and more, scaling to zero when the queue clears

  • How we solved cold starts, so idle workers wake in under a second (30 times faster)

  • How to choose between Flex and Pro compute, pick between Standard and FIFO (first-in, first-out) queues, and schedule scaling ahead of predictable spikes

  • A live look at the queue dashboard: retrying failed jobs, pausing and purging queues, and diagnosing what actually failed without digging through logs

    Live Q&A at the end.

This webinar is for Laravel developers running queues in production, plus engineering leads evaluating queue infrastructure. If you've experienced unreliable throughput, or invisible failures, this session shows how managed queues address each one and the architecture behind it.
