Laravel Queues & Jobs
Production-grade queue patterns for Laravel 13 (MySQL + Redis). Contains 20 rules across 6 categories covering driver choice, job design, retry/failure handling, worker scaling, batching/chaining, and testing. Targets the failure modes that pass code review but break under load — silent re-dispatch on retry, models stale on serialisation, missing idempotency on payment jobs, workers leaking memory, and "we forgot ShouldQueue and the request takes 12 seconds in production."

How to Use
