PostgreSQL or MySQL for Laravel?

The template uses PostgreSQL — more robust for applications with complex relations. MySQL/MariaDB is available on request.

How do I manage the queue workers?

Supervisor is preconfigured to launch and keep `php artisan queue:work` running. It automatically restarts the workers if they stop.

Does the template include Horizon?

Laravel Horizon is not preinstalled, but all of its dependencies (Redis, Supervisor) are in place. A single `composer require laravel/horizon` is enough.

Can several Laravel projects be deployed on the same VPS?

Yes. Each project has its own Nginx virtualhost, system user and database. A 4 GB VPS can typically host 3 to 5 medium-sized Laravel projects.
