I've been looking for something similar for handling large photo/ZIP files but I've had little luck. When I work it out, I'll let you know though.

Maybe laracasts.com has lessons about it?

IronWorker has pretty good documentation, you can use their libraries and even have some php examples on GitHub. I suggest you sign up and add your credit-card details so you could get 200 hours for workers per month. When you sign up you can use IronWorker live console from your account to test some code!

@juukie14 Laracasts have videos on queues but not on workers.

Laravel + IronWorker example: https://github.com/iron-io/iron_worker_examples/tree/master/php/laravel

A composer package to use Iron Workers within Laravel : https://github.com/iron-io/laraworker

Is there a way to upload the iron worker without cmd?

Laraworker is made in such a way so that you can upload via artisan commands.

Speaking about uploading a Iron Worker - You can upload without cmd as it's a POST request where you are uploading a file. But it's complicated without cmd, as you have to zip the file, you can test it, then you have upload using a form?

Using iron_worker CLI is the best way to run,upload a Iron Worker or you should at least have curl, I am assuming you have those in your development machine.

Sorry for the naive question but my worker depends on many of the laravel packages. So when I upload my worker to iron.io, I've to upload all the dependencies as well?

I posted a question related to iron.io worker here http://laravel.io/forum/06-18-2014-delegating-mission-critical-tasks-to-third-party-services

Do you think, iron.io worker can be useful in this scenario?

Thanks!
