Ever watched your staging server just die? Mine did. Both CPUs at 100%, memory maxed, totally frozen.
The culprit? Laravel's scheduler running heavy jobs from production. Price exports, syncs, data crunches just hammering a tiny 2 vCPU droplet.
The fix: split your schedule() by environment. Run heavy jobs once daily on staging instead of hourly. Keep only essentials.
Result? CPU dropped from 100% to 20%. Staging responsive, production untouched.
Don't copy production schedules blindly.

Locally Sourced Hate: Defusing the idea that somebody has imported our democracy problems

The West needs to confront its past, not blame the result on outside influences.
Previously we saw in Laravel 12.40.0 that queues got pause() & resume(). 🤞
In 12.40.2 it goes further with pauseFor(), pause a queue for a TTL (int seconds, DateTimeInterface, DateInterval) and let it auto resume. 💪
Minor version, big DX win. ⚡
