Description:
Action Scheduler is a scalable and traceable job queue designed for background processing of large sets of actions within WordPress. It is specifically built to be distributed across WordPress plugins. The system functions by triggering an action hook to run at a future time. Each hook can be scheduled with unique data, allowing callbacks to perform operations on that specific data. This mechanism acts as an extension to the standard do_action function, adding the capability to delay and repeat a hook.
This tool has been extensively used in processing millions of payments for WooCommerce Subscriptions, as well as handling webhooks and other events for WooCommerce. It has been observed on live sites processing queues exceeding 50,000 jobs. Action Scheduler can handle resource intensive operations, such as creating orders and processing payments, at a sustained rate of over 10,000 jobs per hour without negatively affecting normal site operations.
If your plugin requires background processing, especially when dealing with large volumes of tasks, Action Scheduler can provide the necessary support. It is developed and maintained by Automattic, with significant early development contributed by Flightless.
