CodeIgniter Queue

Queues for the CodeIgniter 4 framework.

[!NOTE] A queue system is typically used to handle resource-intensive or time-consuming tasks (e.g., image processing, sending emails) that are to be run in the background. It can also be a way to postpone certain activities that are to be executed automatically later.

Migrate your database:

php spark migrate --all

Configuration

];
