Question
Best way to start `php artisan queue:work` for a Laravel Digital Ocean App and keep it running?

Asked by whoacowboy
I am setting up a Laravel queue on my Digital Ocean App. Typically I have used supervisor but I have read it is problematic in this environment. This question says that using a Worker Component is the best way to do this, but I have no idea how to set one up.
I would need the worker to run the artisan command php artisan queue:work inside the main app’s primary directory and make sure it stays running after every rebuild after the app is ready.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
App Platform does not have an services that handle explicit queues or background jobs.
However we have a bunch of options for implementing these to fit your needs:
