Hi,
As of Laravel 5, it supports push notification support and far better queue support; but there is one drawback to this approach and that is the lack of support for free and open source protocols/products.
It will be great if more drivers become available for queues and push, such as AMQP 0.9 (for mainly RabbitMQ), AMQP 1.0 (for mainly Apache's Apollo) and ØMQ (for ZeroMQ protocol based servers).
Cheers!
