> Worker and cron jobs as an optional component: dedicated PHP processes for background work, isolated from the web front-end.


Jobs, available as an optional component, run scheduled and continuous commands. These dedicated back-end PHP processes are isolated from the web front-end, ensuring fast website delivery while handling heavy processing tasks in the background. Worker and cron jobs are well supported by modern PHP frameworks like [Laravel](/software/laravel) and [Symfony](/software/symfony), as well as content management systems like [Craft CMS](/software/craft-cms) and [Statamic](/software/statamic).

## Features

- **Easy setup**: manage and monitor jobs with the fortrabbit dashboard
- **Compatible**: works with common PHP frameworks and CMSs
- **Reliable**: automatic restarts, observable logs
- **Scalable**: grow on demand and handle increased workloads
