[](#2-add-to-configqueuephp)

'kafka' => [
    'driver' => 'kafka',
    'broker_list' => env('KAFKA_BROKER_LIST', 'kafka:9092'),
    'auth' => [
        'enable' => env('KAFKA_AUTH_ENABLE', false),
        'mechanism' => env('KAFKA_AUTH_MECHANISM', 'PLAIN'),
        'username' => env('KAFKA_AUTH_USERNAME'),
        'password' => env('KAFKA_AUTH_PASSWORD'),

    'after_commit' => false,
],
```

Caution
-------

[](#caution)

> It is not recommended to use it with delayed tasks due to the way Kafka works. When a deferred task reaches the execution time, it is again placed at the end of the queue and so on until the moment when it is allowed to be executed.
