Queue worker setup

I'm trying to find some documentation on configuring queue worker on Forge. I found a couple of laracasts showing a beanstalk configuration example but it appears that only Redis option is available now.

Do I need to add any dependencies to my project and configure the environment variables to simply use redis rather than sync?

Beanstalk, Amazon SQS, Redis (or just the database) should all work just fine: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/queues#driver-prerequisites

Yes, you will need to add the right dependencies depending on which driver you intend to use. From the docs:

Amazon SQS: aws/aws-sdk-php ~3.0
Beanstalkd: pda/pheanstalk ~3.0
Redis: predis/predis ~1.0

Here's a video on how to set up a (beanstalkd) queue worker with Forge . It's a little dated but the general idea should still be the same:

Remember to also add a table for failed jobs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/queues#dealing-with-failed-jobs
