title: Laravel - Scheduling a Large Task
body: <p>Trying to run a function in Laravel that's quite large and fetches a lot of data from Google Places API and stores parts in my database as new entries in a table. The problem is it auto-discovers new entries for me near my current entries, and that creates more jobs.</p>
  
  <p>When I just access the command via GET it times out eventually. I've tried running it as a scheduled command with Redis but to be frank I can't seem to figure out how it works. I've created a job, I tried to queue it with dispatch, but then it tries to run it immediately right now and it times out eventually again.</p>
  
  <p>How do I run this large task without it pausing my entire server?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
