Laravel Tip: Dispatch Jobs After Your DB Transaction Commits

Jobs dispatched inside database transactions can execute before the transaction commits, causing race conditions where the job queries non-existent data. Laravel's afterCommit() method ensures jobs only run after the transaction completes successfully. This can be applied per-dispatch using ->afterCommit() or globally on the job class with $afterCommit = true. Essential for scenarios like sending confirmation emails, syncing with external APIs, or indexing records where the job depends on committed database changes.
