Async Background Worker, more information please visit this page https://tonjoo.github.io/async-background-worker/
WordPress background worker plugin that enable WordPress to interact with beanstalkd work queue.
We can run a very long task in the background, for example we need to import 100.000 row into WordPress databases. Instead of doing the 100.000 import in one job, we can separate the job into many smaller job which is safer.
Make sure you have WP CLI installed on your system

Add new job to new worker queue using add_async_job
command
$job = new stdClass();
// the function to run
$job->function = 'function_to_execute_on_background';
// our user entered data
$job->user_data = array('data'=>'some_data');
add_async_job($job);
Implement function
function function_to_execute_on_background($data) {
//do something usefull
echo "Background job executed successfully\n";
}
