Creating a Queue and Processing in Batches in Drupal

In Drupal, using the Queue API to process tasks in batches is a practical way to manage large workloads without straining server resources. This approach is particularly useful for tasks that require processing multiple items over time, such as sending out bulk emails, importing large data sets, or periodically updating records. In this guide, we'll walk through setting up a queue worker, adding items to the queue, and processing them in batches.

Checking for Deprecated Code with the drupal-check Package

Drupal’s core codebase is always changing, due in part to its contributors always looking to improve Drupal for developers. That means as more improvements are made, changes are made as well, and consequently, these changes cause code to become obsolete and ultimately, deprecated. Luckily, there are ways around this. Composer, Drupal’s prime tool for dependency management, is a great help in keeping your code up to date and ready. Another nice thing about it is that it’s great for getting help from the Drupal community. Enthusiastic third-party developers are usually willing to take matters into their own hands when asking for improvements, which bring us to our titular package, drupal-check.
