Hi, I'm working on a service application which gets multiple data from another system via RabbitMQ in a specific format. So my idea was to use Laravel's queuing functionality to consume these queues but I have some problems.
Is there a way to define the name of the queues to consume? I have the feeling that Laravel is always using a single queue with payload information about the circumstances.
I used this driver: https://github.com/fintech-fab/laravel-queue-rabbitmq
Or would you recommend using sth like this when working with multiple queues filled by another application? https://github.com/mookofe/tail
Thank you very much!
Isn't there anyone who has worked with queues?
I looked to some similar questions and it seems that laravel's queuing is not built for working with external sources, so I'll use the 'tail' approach.

I case someone is interested I've created a AMQP package for Lumen (Laravel will follow) to publish and consume messages from RabbitMQ:
https://github.com/php-enqueue/laravel-queue (if used with amqp transposrt such as enqueue/amqp-lib, enqueue/amqp-ext and enqueue/amqp-bunny) sends messages to dedicated queues, and btw they are created on demand.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
