Summary

With an asynchronous approach, we can defer the execution of some tasks and be more responsive to the user’s request. In other words, the job is queued, and it will be taken care of later. The behavior is different from the classic approach where the job is executed immediately, but the benefit is that control of the application’s UI is consistently available to the user. The user experience of your application is smoother, so the user, in the meantime, can do other things with your application. Besides improving the user experience, the asynchronous approach is more scalable because you can control the processes that will take charge of the jobs in a granular way. You also can execute more than one worker via the php artisan queue:work command – and if your hardware architecture has more virtual machines for running backend processes, you can run the consumer processes across multiple virtual machines.

To achieve asynchronous architecture in the current...
