WPTampere: Job Scheduling in WordPress (with Action Scheduler)

In August we will get together at Teerenpeli in the centre of Tampere (https://www.teerenpeli.com/en/Restaurants/Tampere-Teerenpeli) and dive into subject Job Scheduling in WordPress with Action Scheduler.

From publishing posts automatically on specific dates to running complex data migrations in batches, job scheduling is a common need on WordPress sites.

Join Anttoni Niemenmaa from Eventilla as he explores the scheduling options available in WordPress. The session begins with a look at Unix Cron and WP-Cron, a and then dives deeper into Action Scheduler - a scalable and traceable job queue designed for background processing and handling thousands of tasks per day.

Anttoni Niemenmaa is a Senior PHP Developer at Eventilla and an entrepreneur at Kargo. With over a decade of WordPress experience, he has utilized Action Scheduler in both Eventilla’s WordPress integration plugin and Kargo’s WooCommerce–Netvisor integration.
