Job-class observability and safe cancellation for Laravel apps running Horizon.
Horizon flies the workers. Deck runs the operation.
Deck is a durable control plane on top of Horizon: per job-class history, searchable executions, cooperative cancel, dispatch blocking, and optional Deck Cloud when you run many services. It does not replace php artisan horizon.
composer require deck/deck
php artisan deck:install
php artisan migrateOpen /deck. Reuse Horizon’s authorization gate by default.

| Horizon gives you | Deck adds |
|---|---|
| Worker supervision and auto-balancing | Per job-class last run and status |
| Recent jobs in Redis (short retention) | Durable execution log in your database |
| Failed job retry UI | Search and filter by class, queue, connection, tag |
| Throughput and wait-time metrics | Cooperative cancel and block job classes |
| — | Stale-job and unprocessed-queue alerts |
Every row is scoped by project and environment for multi-app teams and Deck Cloud.
