Yesterday, the very first Laravel Worldwide Meetup was held. At the event, which was live streamed on YouTube, Joseph Silber gave an introduction to lazy collections. Mohamed Said demonstrated some very powerful additions coming to queues in Laravel 8.

You can watch a recording of the meetup below.

Over 600 people watched the meetup live, which surpassed my personal expectations. Here are a few reactions posted on Twitter.
