It can record live application execution in testing or production, helping you quickly pinpoint bugs and performance bottlenecks in your code.

Job Queue: Offload Execution of Long-running PHP Scripts Web applications generally follow the synchronous communication paradigm, however some tasks are better suited to asynchronous execution. Long-running report generation, order processing, database cleanup, and pulling of RSS feeds are some examples of jobs that can be executed asynchronously. Zend Server 5.0 incorporates Job Queue, providing full support for creating, executing and managing jobs to optimize application performance and reduce server load.
