Run cron jobs with groups in Magento

Magento cron job groups let you schedule and control resource usage by organizing tasks into custom or default queues.

Lesson Content

Magento organizes cron jobs into groups to manage server resources better. Think of these groups as separate queues that bundle similar operations together.

  • default: For general maintenance tasks

  • index: Handles indexing operations (updating search data, category data, etc.)

  • consumers: Processes background message queue operations

Custom cron groups are useful when you need your jobs to run on different schedules than the default minute-by-minute execution, or when you want to control resources separately across various job types.
