Laravel Horizon not executing pending jobs - Kubernetes and Docker environment
After struggling for days, I got the answer to this problem.
While using Redis as a cache, queue, or broadcast broker in the docker environment, we need to make sure that the following environment variables are defined properly and they must be the same across all the pods.
- CACHE_PREFIX
- REDIS_PREFIX
- REDIS_CACHE_DB
- HORIZON_PREFIX
Hope this will help others trying to deploy the Laravel apps using Kubernetes and Docker.
In my case, I need to change my app environment from prod to production
APP_ENV=production
Double check your APP_ENV matches one of the environments in the horizon.php config. Otherwise horizon will not start any queue workers.
By default only local and production environments are provided:
