use Illuminate\Foundation\Queue\Queueable;

class ProcessPodcast implements ShouldQueue

ProcessPodcast::dispatch($podcast);

// Delayed
ProcessPodcast::dispatch($podcast)->delay(now()->addMinutes(10));

// Dispatch chain
Bus::chain([
    new ProcessPodcast($podcast),
    new OptimizePodcast($podcast),
])->dispatch();

// Batch
$batch = Bus::batch([
    new ProcessPodcast($podcast1),
    new ProcessPodcast($podcast2),
])->then(function () {
    // All jobs completed
})->dispatch();

Laravel 13: Queue::route()

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Queue;

// Route jobs to specific queues based on conditions
Queue::route(function (object $job) {
    if ($job instanceof ProcessPayment) {
        return "high";
    }
    if ($job->podcast->is_featured) {
        return "featured";
    }
    return "default";
});
