Does the Laravel Horizon replace the standard Laravel queues?

Question

I use Laravel Horizon. And I really didn't understand from the documentation.

Should I not use the config/queue.php now?

On a production server, can I delete the supervisor settings for standart Laravel queue because I am now using the Horizon supervisor settings?

Horizon is not to replace Laravel's queue. Horizon uses the Redis queue you configured. — Wahyu Kristianto, Feb 10 '22 at 16:35

You still need queue.php. Horizon is still based on Queue. Horizon augments Laravel's queue with additional features [1]. It comes with a dashboard and requires Redis as your queue driver.

In terms of configuring of your supervisor, yes, it is a replacement. queue:work and horizon:work basically does the same thing. So you should delete queue:work supervisor configuration and continue using Horizon supervisor.
