laravel-queue-rate-limit

Simple Laravel queue rate limiting

Installation

3.* versions are compatible only with Laravel 7+.

$ composer require mxl/laravel-queue-rate-limit

For Laravel 6 use 2.* versions:

$ composer require mxl/laravel-queue-rate-limit "^2.0"

For Laravel 5 use 1.* versions:

$ composer require mxl/laravel-queue-rate-limit "^1.0"

Laravel 5.5+ will use the auto-discovery feature to add MichaelLedin\LaravelQueueRateLimit\QueueServiceProvider::class to providers.

This package is not compatible with older Laravel versions.

Add rate limits to config/queue.php:

'rateLimits' => [
    'mail' => [ // queue name, not connection name
        'allows' => 1, // 1 job
        'every' => 5 // per 5 seconds
    ]
]

The rateLimits array keys must match the queue names your worker processes. For example, if your database connection uses queue.connections.database.queue set to payments, configure rateLimits.payments and run the worker for that queue:

// config/queue.php
'connections' => [
    'database' => [
        'driver' => 'database',
        'queue' => 'payments',
        // ...
    ],
],

'rateLimits' => [
    'payments' => [
        'allows' => 1,
        'every' => 60,
    ],
],

$ php artisan queue:work database --queue payments

If you dispatch jobs to a non-default queue, make sure the job uses the same queue name:

PaymentJob::dispatch($details)->onQueue('payments');

This package rate-limits when workers pop jobs from queues. It does not delay jobs when they are dispatched and does not change available_at in the jobs database table. For database queues, seeing available_at equal to created_at is expected unless you dispatch the job with Laravel's own delay API.

Usage

Make sure that you don't use sync connection when queueing jobs. See default property in config/queue.php.

Run queue worker:

$ php artisan queue:work --queue default,mail

Then push several jobs to default and mail queues:

Mail::queue(..., 'mail');
Mail::queue(..., 'mail');
Mail::queue(..., 'mail');
Mail::queue(..., 'default');
Mail::queue(..., 'default');

You'll see that only mail queue jobs will be rate limited while default queue jobs will run normally.

Disable logging

Extend QueueServiceProvider:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

class QueueServiceProvider extends \MichaelLedin\LaravelQueueRateLimit\QueueServiceProvider
{
    protected function registerLogger()
    {
        $this->app->singleton('queue.logger', function () {
            return null;
        });
    }
}

Add it to providers array in config/app.php:

<?php

return [
    // ...
    'providers' => [
        // Laravel Framework Service Providers
        // ...
        // Application Service Providers
        // ...
        App\Providers\QueueServiceProvider::class,
        // ...
    ]
];
