Limit Queued Job in Laravel - laravel

Question

I have an email service that allows me to send only 60 emails per hour (1/minute).
So that is why i m trying to write an application that respect the service provider's restrictions,
I m dispatching emails to bulk users at once via queue jobs,Please take a look at the code
public function sendEmails(CreateEmailRequest $request)
{
$data = [];
$users = User::find($request->to);
$subject = $request->subject;
$body = $this->fileUpload($request->body);
foreach ($users as $user) {
$vars = array(
"{{name}}" => $user->name,
"{{email}}" => $user->email,
);
$body = strtr($body, $vars);
$data['body'] = $body;
$data['user'] = $user;
$data['subject'] = $subject;
dispatch(new SendEmailJob($data))->onQueue('mail');
}
Flash::success('Email sent successfully.');
return redirect(route('emails.index'));
}
here is SendEmailJob Class code
public function handle()
{
$data = $this->data;
$body = $data['body'];
$user = $data['user'];
$subject = $data['subject'];
// list($body, $user, $subject) = $this->data;
Mail::send('mail.email', ['body' => $body], function ($m) use ($user, $subject) {
$m->to($user->email)->subject($subject);
});
}
public function middleware()
{
return Limit::perMinute(1);
}
when I run php artisan queue:work it process all jobs at once..
can you please tell me how can I achieve this?
I can not use spatie/laravel-rate-limited-job-middleware because my server does not support Redis.
Can you please tell me i m doing wrong ?

Answer 1

You can use Job Middleware with a rate limiting
in the boot method of your AppServiceProvider
RateLimiter::for('emails', function($job) {
return Limit::perMinute(1);
});
and add middleware to the job:
use Illuminate\Queue\Middleware\RateLimited;
public function middleware()
{
return [new RateLimited('emails')];
}
