## What it is
A Laravel package that sends notifications via mail and Slack when a queued job fails, hooking into Laravel's JobFailed event and native notification system. It is configured through a publishable config file and environment variables.

## Use cases
- get notified when a queued job fails
- send Slack alerts for failed Laravel jobs
- email admins when background jobs error out
- monitor failed jobs across multiple Laravel apps
- avoid manually checking the failed_jobs table

## When to choose
- you run Laravel apps with queued jobs and want instant failure alerts
- you want a drop-in package using Laravel's native notification channels
- you manage many applications and can't check failed job tables manually

## When to avoid
- you don't use Laravel or PHP
- you need full job queue observability with metrics and dashboards rather than simple failure notifications
- you already have centralized error tracking like Sentry covering job failures

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, alerting, message-queue, email
- domain: monitoring, backend, developer-tools
- platform: php
- tags: laravel-package, queue-monitoring, slack-notifications, failed-jobs, spatie, automation, laravel
