Queues And Jobs

Use queues for work that can happen outside the request cycle: notifications, imports, exports, media processing, integration callbacks, long-running calculations, and retryable external operations.

This is the canonical queue skill. It consolidates the former queues-and-horizon topic while keeping horizon-metrics-and-dashboards for focused observability work.

Detect The Queue Stack

Confirm the queue connection, worker manager, Horizon installation, failed-job storage, deployment process, and local runner before changing configuration or issuing operational commands. Do not assume Horizon is installed merely because Redis is used.

Job Design

Queued jobs should be safe to retry.
