+## Running queues in production
+
+### Keeping the worker running with Supervisor
+
+In production, use a process monitor like [Supervisor](http://supervisord.org/) to keep the queue worker running permanently:
+
+```ini
+[program:acorn-worker]
+process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
+command=wp acorn queue:work --sleep=3 --tries=3 --max-time=3600
+directory=/path/to/your/site
+autostart=true
+autorestart=true
+stopasgroup=true
+killasgroup=true
+numprocs=1
+redirect_stderr=true
+stdout_logfile=/path/to/your/site/worker.log
+stopwaitsecs=3600
+```
 
-## Dispatching jobs
+### Restarting workers during deployment
 
-```php
-// In a controller or WordPress hook
-use App\Jobs\ProcessImageOptimization;
+Long-running `queue:work` processes keep the application booted in memory, so they won't pick up code changes after a deployment. Use `queue:restart` to gracefully restart all workers:
 
-// Dispatch immediately
-ProcessImageOptimization::dispatch($attachmentId);
+```bash
+$ wp acorn queue:restart
+```
+
+This signals workers to exit after finishing their current job, allowing Supervisor to start fresh instances with the updated code. Add this to your deployment script to ensure workers always run the latest version of your code.
+
+### Pausing and resuming workers
+
+You can pause and resume queue processing without stopping the worker processes:
+
+#### Pause processing
 
-// Dispatch with delay
-ProcessImageOptimization::dispatch($attachmentId)->delay(now()->addMinutes(5));
+```bash
+$ wp acorn queue:pause
+```
+
+#### Resume processing
+
+```bash
+$ wp acorn queue:resume
+```
+
+### Monitoring queue sizes
+
+Monitor queue sizes to detect backlogs:
+
+```bash
+$ wp acorn queue:monitor
 ```
