consumers_wait_for_messages

Specify whether consumers should continue polling for messages if the number of processed messages is less than the max_messages value. The default value is 1.

1

3
'queue' => [
    'consumers_wait_for_messages' => 1
]

The following options are available:

• 1—Consumers continue to process messages from the message queue until reaching the max_messages value specified in the env.php file before closing the TCP connection and terminating the consumer process. If the queue empties before reaching the max_messages value, the consumer waits for more messages to arrive.

  We recommend this setting for large merchants because a constant message flow is expected and delays in processing are undesirable.

• 0—Consumers process available messages in the queue, close the TCP connection, and terminate. Consumers do not wait for additional messages to enter the queue, even if the number of processed messages is less than the max_messages value specified in the env.php file. This can help prevent issues with cron jobs caused by long delays in message queue processing.

  We recommend this setting for smaller merchants that do not expect a constant message flow and prefer to conserve computing resources in exchange for minor processing delays when there could be no messages for days.

cron

Enable or disable cron jobs for the Magento application. By default, cron jobs are enabled. To disable them, add the cron configuration to the env.php file and set the value to 0.

'cron' => [
  'enabled' => 0

Be careful when you disable cron jobs. When they are disabled essential processes required by the Magento application will not run.
