Laravel Horizon

LaraKube simplifies running Laravel Horizon by handling the process management and Redis requirements automatically.

🧱 What's Included​

  • Redis Integration: Selecting Horizon automatically includes and configures a Redis instance in your cluster.
  • Dedicated Container: LaraKube scaffolds a specialized container that runs php artisan horizon, isolated from your web traffic.
  • Master Process Monitoring: A built-in readinessProbe uses php artisan horizon:status to ensure the queue master is healthy before signaling success.

Workflow​

Horizon is configured via your project's config/horizon.php. Since LaraKube uses your local code, any changes to your worker configurations or queue names are picked up during the up process.

scaling​

In production, you can scale your Horizon workers by updating the replicas in your horizon-deployment.yaml. LaraKube ensures that the master process and its workers have sufficient resources to handle your background workloads.
