<ul><li>10MPage is an internet history project which involves placing images onto a large grid.</li><li>The project requires that each image is approved before placement onto the grid.</li><li>Pending tiles need to be placed into the grid table that has an X and Y field.</li><li>The original approach was to loop through the grid to find an empty spot and place the pending tile there, however as the grid grew larger, it became slow.</li><li>The database table 'Placement blocks' was created to store available blocks, so that larger number of tiles could be handled at the same time.</li><li>Adding a pending tile larger than a single placement block is not supported, and the tile has to wait until the grid expands.</li><li>This implementation uses Laravel jobs with Laravel Horizon, where multiple workers are handling placements.</li><li>The scalability of this implementation is limited by the number of workers and available placement blocks.</li><li>The number of tiles that can be placed simultaneously can be increased by scaling up the workers.</li><li>The project offers a free experience for users.</li></ul>
