## What it is
Laravel Horizon is a first-party Laravel package providing a dashboard and code-driven configuration for Laravel Redis queues. It lets teams monitor job throughput, runtime, and failures while managing worker configuration in version control.

## Use cases
- monitor Laravel Redis queue throughput and job failures
- manage queue worker configuration in a version-controlled file
- view failed jobs and retry or delete them from a dashboard
- auto-balance queue workers across multiple queues
- track job runtime metrics and receive failure notifications
- tag and search jobs in the queue dashboard

## When to choose
- you run Laravel applications with Redis-backed queues
- you need visibility into job throughput, latency, and failures
- you want worker configuration managed as code and deployed with your app
- you need auto-balancing of workers across queues

## When to avoid
- your queues are not powered by Redis (Horizon requires Redis)
- you use Redis Cluster, which Horizon does not support
- you use a non-Laravel PHP framework or another language
- you only need a minimal queue worker without a dashboard

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: monitoring, message-queue, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, monitoring
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: laravel, redis-queues, queue-dashboard, job-monitoring, worker-configuration, devops, web-server
