Laravel Horizon, Octane & PhpRedis Production VPS Architecture — RedisVault
High-traffic Laravel Octane apps push tens of thousands of Cache::remember(), session reads, and Horizon supervisor metrics every second. Switching from Predis to compiled PhpRedis with zstd + igbinary slashes RAM footprint by up to 55%. — Modeled deterministically by RedisVault.
In this RedisVault LARAVEL-HORIZON sizing blueprint, we separate configured maxmemory from 4 KB POSIX fork() Copy-on-Write shadow pages and kernel socket buffers so background snapshots complete without Linux OOM-Killer termination.

],RedisVault Kernel & Allocator Tuning Rules for LARAVEL-HORIZON
- Enable Redis::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY + Redis::COMPRESSION_ZSTD on Eloquent model caches: serialized PHP arrays shrink by 50–68% while CPU overhead stays under 2%.
- Use Unix domain sockets (/var/run/redis/redis-server.sock with chmod 770) when PHP-FPM/Octane and Redis share the same VPS to bypass TCP loopback syscalls (~32% lower latency).
- Run horizon:snapshot every 5 minutes and trim horizon.trim.completed to 60 minutes so completed job payloads do not bloat AOF rewrites.
