I recently gave a talk at Laravel Mauritius about Laravel Queues and Horizon, titled “Edge of Horizon: Taming Queue Chaos”. The talk covered how to effectively manage and monitor queue jobs in Laravel applications using Laravel Horizon.
What I Covered
The presentation explored various aspects of working with Laravel queues and Horizon, including:
- Understanding queue fundamentals and when to use them
- Setting up and configuring Laravel Horizon
- Monitoring and managing queue jobs effectively
- Best practices for handling queue failures and retries
- Optimizing queue performance and throughput
Slides and Demo

I also created a demo repository for the talk that demonstrates the concepts covered. You can check it out on GitHub: horizon-playground.
