Skyline for Laravel replaces Horizon and adds alerts, lock control, and queue health monitoring. It swaps in via Composer, keeps the same config and dashboard URL, and notifies you about stalled queues, failing jobs, or stuck unique locks. I’d love to hear what you think about the alerts and lock‑release features 😊

Key features
- Drop-in Horizon replacement — Installs via Composer, keeps the same config, namespace and dashboard URL.
- Queue alerts — Notifies via Slack, email, SMS, PagerDuty or Opsgenie when queues stall, workers crash or Horizon stops.
- Unique lock management — Shows held ShouldBeUnique locks, their age and provides a Release button.
- Memory & CPU metrics — Shows per-job-class memory and CPU usage and worker restart reasons.
- Job lifecycle logging — Writes a log line for every job transition (queued, reserved, released, failed, etc.).
- Job search — Search jobs by class name or dispatched arguments across pending, completed and failed jobs.
- Prometheus & Grafana support — Exports metrics via a Prometheus endpoint and includes a Grafana dashboard.

Use cases
- Detect and alert on a stalled Laravel queue before users notice.
- Identify and release stuck unique locks that prevent job dispatch.
- Monitor memory and CPU consumption per job class to optimize resources.
- Trace the full history of a specific job using the log channel.
- Search for all jobs related to a particular account ID across queues.

- Skyline vs Grafana: Grafana provides dashboards but no queue-specific alerts or lock management for Laravel Horizon.
- Skyline vs Datadog: Datadog offers monitoring and alerts for many services but lacks the Horizon-specific drop-in replacement and lock handling.
- Skyline vs Podman: Podman is a container engine, unrelated to Laravel queue management.
- Skyline vs Vercel: Vercel hosts front-end apps; it does not manage Laravel queues or provide Horizon alerts.
