Laravel Job Batching (introduced in Laravel 8) groups multiple queued jobs into a single batch, allowing you to monitor progress, handle completion/failure callbacks, and manage complex workflows as one unit. It solves the problem of coordinating related jobs (like CSV import → notifications → reports) where you need to know when ALL jobs finish, retry failed ones, or trigger final actions without polling individual job statuses.

Example:-

Step 1:- Dispatch Batch

Code

$batch = Bus::batch([
    new ImportCSV(),
    new SendNotifications(),
    new GenerateReport(),
])->dispatch();
      

Step 2:-Track Progress

Code

// API endpoint
Route::get('/batch/{id}', function ($id) {
    return Bus::findBatch($id)->toArray();
    // Returns: totalJobs, processedJobs(), progress()
});
      

Step 3:-Handle Completion

Code

$batch->then(function (Batch $batch) {
    Log::info('All done: ' . $batch->id);
})->catch(function (Batch $batch, Throwable $e) {
    notifyAdmin($e);
})->finally(function (Batch $batch) {
    cleanup();
});
      

Step 4:-Cancel if Needed

Code

Bus::findBatch($batchId)->cancel(); // Stops all remaining jobs
      

Step 5:-Frontend Progress

Code

fetch(`/api/batch/${batchId}`).then(res => res.json())
// { progress: 67, processedJobs: 6, totalJobs: 9 }
