• Scalable Workflows: Implement complex, multi-step processes using job chaining and batching for robust and manageable execution.
• Real-time Monitoring: Utilize Laravel Horizon for comprehensive visibility into queue performance, job status, and error handling.
• Use Case: Automatically process a large batch of user-uploaded images, resizing and optimizing them in the background without making the user wait.
