It streams CSV/Excel files of any size using PHP Generators and Laravel Queues to keep memory usage flat. Key features include fluent IngestConfig builder, automatic BelongsTo/BelongsToMany relationship resolution, duplicate handling strategies (SKIP, CREATE, UPDATE, UPDATE_IF_NEWER), dry-run validation mode, failed row tracking with CSV export, column aliasing, and support for multiple import sources including S3, FTP, and SFTP. Each registered importer automatically gets both an Artisan command and a REST API endpoint, plus monitoring commands for checking status, cancelling, and retrying failed rows. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
