You can get a list of the pre-configured back-ends inside the config/queue.php file: 'connections' => [ 'sync' => [ 'driver' => 'sync', ], 'database' => [ 'driver' => 'database', 'table' => 'jobs', 'queue' => 'default', 'retry_after' => 90, 'after_commit' => false, ], 'beanstalkd' => [ 'driver' => 'beanstalkd', 'host' => 'localhost', 'queue' => 'default', 'retry_after' => 90, 'block_for' => 0, 'after_commit' => false, ], 'sqs' => [ 'driver' => 'sqs', 'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'), 'prefix' => env('SQS_PREFIX', 'https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/your-account-id'), 'queue' => env('SQS_QUEUE', 'default'), 'suffix' => env('SQS_SUFFIX'), 'after_commit' => false, ], 'redis' => [ 'driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'default', 'queue' => env('REDIS_QUEUE', 'default'), 'retry_after' => 90, 'block_for' => null, 'after_commit' => false, ], ], As you can see, all Laravel projects come with five predefined back-end configurations.

You'll have to change the 'queue' => 'default' line for the database connection to 'queue' => 'high-priority,default' inside the config/queue.php file.

'defaults' => [ 'supervisor-1' => [ 'connection' => 'redis', 'queue' => ['default'], 'balance' => 'auto', 'maxProcesses' => 1, 'memory' => 128, 'tries' => 1, 'nice' => 0, ], ], 'environments' => [ 'production' => [ 'supervisor-1' => [ 'maxProcesses' => 10, 'balanceMaxShift' => 1, 'balanceCooldown' => 3, ], ], 'local' => [ 'supervisor-1' => [ 'maxProcesses' => 3, ], ], ], The defaults array contains the default configuration for all environments.
