Fixing the Laravel Queue Error: "Instances of Aws\Sqs\SqsClient cannot be serialized"

If you've encountered the error message "Instances of Aws\Sqs\SqsClient cannot be serialized" while working with Laravel's queue system and AWS SQS, you're not alone. This error often occurs seemingly out of nowhere, leaving developers frustrated and jobs failing unexpectedly.

Understanding the Problem

Recently, a user found that their data migrator, which was built using Laravel v8.x and AWS SQS as the queue backend, faced intermittent job failures. Despite no changes being made to the code, errors increased over time until all jobs began to fail. The stack trace pointed directly to the problem within AWS's SDK for PHP.

What Causes This Error?

The error stems from a recent change in AWS's infrastructure and SDK. Sometimes, these changes can lead to previously stable applications behaving unpredictably. Here's a simple breakdown of the situation:

The AWS SQS Client was updated in a way that affects how instances are serialized.

When job execution processes vary, issues arise that were not apparent in earlier versions.
