Horizon is a Redis queue dashboard and supervisor configuration tool that monitors throughput, runtime, failures, wait times, and worker balancing. Octane keeps Laravel in long-running application servers such as FrankenPHP, RoadRunner, or Swoole to reduce per-request bootstrap cost, which requires attention to stale state and worker lifecycle.

Reverb is Laravel’s WebSocket server for real-time broadcasting. Pulse is an application performance and usage dashboard that can show slow requests, slow queries, jobs, queues, cache activity, and more. These tools solve different operational concerns and should be adopted with the required infrastructure, monitoring, and deployment restart strategy.
