When focusing in on some specific functionality of an application, such as notifications or queuing, I often head over to the docs and catch up on the current state of the art for different Laravel components. So as I do, I went over and read up on the current feature set for queues.
They simplify handling duplicate requests and ensure that resources stay in a good state across conflicting background jobs.
This removes the responsibility from the client and allows our application to internally ensure that duplicate requests are handled gracefully.
