Quick Tip

Ignore Database when Job has failed

If you ever need to bypass database when a job fails, you can do one of the below things to skip database:

  • Set env QUEUE_FAILED_DRIVER with value null. Works from Laravel 8 and above.
  • Set the failed value to null in config/queue.php file, replacing the array (like below code). This one works for Laravel 7 and older.
'failed' => null,

Why you would want this? For applications where you do not need to store failed jobs and they needs to have very high TPS, skipping database can be very favourable as we are not hitting database, saving times & prevent database going down.
