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.
