42. Horizon for Queue Monitoring

Dashboard and config for Redis queues.

Laravel Horizon provides a beautiful dashboard and code-driven configuration for Redis-backed queues, showing job throughput, wait times, and failures in real time. Configuration in config/horizon.php defines supervisors that control worker processes per queue, including balancing strategies like 'auto' to scale workers based on load. Horizon requires the Redis queue driver and is typically run in production via a process manager like Supervisor.
