Running Horizon

# Development
php artisan horizon

# Production (with Supervisor)
# /etc/supervisor/conf.d/horizon.conf
[program:horizon]
process_name=%(program_name)s
command=php /var/www/app/artisan horizon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=www-data
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/app/storage/logs/horizon.log
stopwaitsecs=3600

Dispatching Jobs

// Dispatch to specific queue
ProcessOrder::dispatch($order)->onQueue('high');

// Delayed dispatch
ProcessOrder::dispatch($order)->delay(now()->addMinutes(5));

// Chain jobs
Bus::chain([
    new ProcessOrder($order),
    new SendConfirmation($order),
    new NotifyWarehouse($order),
])->dispatch();

Octane (High Performance)

Installation

composer require laravel/octane
php artisan octane:install

# Choose: Swoole or RoadRunner

Running

# Development
php artisan octane:start --watch

# Production
php artisan octane:start --workers=4 --task-workers=6

Important: Memory Leaks

// AVOID: Static properties accumulating data
class BadService
{
    private static array $cache = [];  // Memory leak!
}

// GOOD: Use request-scoped or proper cache
class GoodService
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly Repository $cache
    ) {}
}
