For the #laravel crew on here, do you typically just use standard Laravel queues backed by the DB, or Horizon (Redis backed)?

Haha, all of the above?

It used to be strictly Redis, but lately I’ve been using mostly DB up to the point I want to introduce Horizon.

Yeah, that makes sense. With your DB-backed queues, do you ever wish you had some of the control that Horizon offers, like being able to pause and continue processors, or being able to clean failed jobs/clear jobs from the queue?

Not really. This is usually I start looking at Horizon.

Yeah, that makes sense. What if there was a package/mobile app that you could integrate into your project that would offer both observability and queue controls from a mobile app (iOS and/or Android)? Would you still move to Horizon?

Probably not :( I'm not a big mobile guy.

What do you use for monitoring beyond Horizon?

Are use Senty in anything that gets the production, but I have used anything from Envoy heartbeats to Datadog 😀 Nightwatch has been on my to-do list for a bit now. I need new project!

All good. I found it helpful when I was spinning up a pretty heavy queue (100k+ jobs/hr) and I wanted to check-in occasionally while playing with the kids
