push a job into laravel redis queue from another Laravel instance on same server?-CodePudding

I have two Laravel projects running on the same server.

The first calls second's api over HTTP, the the second pushes a job to notify some users.

As both projects live on the same server, can't i make the first project push the job to the second one's redis job queue?

I never tried this approach but it should be possible

You didn't specify what queue connections are your projects using, but let's assume that they use 2 different connections, for example 2 different redis servers

In your first laravel project config/queue.php add new connection to connections that will point to the queue connection of the second laravel project. Let's name it project-2-connection

Then you can use dispatching to a particular connection

ExampleJob::dispatch($data)->onConnection('project-2-connection');

It's important to make sure that the same job class ExampleJob exists in both projects

To make your life easier you should pass $data as simple array and avoid SerializesModels. If you pass model from project 1 that doesn't exist in project 2 then your job will will fail with a ModelNotFoundException. You could use models but then you would need to have same model in both projects

Set-up a queue management server and this can receive of point your jobs into queues from even multiple servers. A simple code which might help is below;

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Jobs\ProcessPodcast;
use App\Models\Podcast;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 
class PodcastController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Store a new podcast.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $podcast = Podcast::create(/* ... */);
 
        // Create podcast...
 
        ProcessPodcast::dispatch($podcast)->onQueue('processing');
    }
}
