Enhancing Efficiency and Reliability by Sling jobs by Aanchal Sikka
Overview
Sling Jobs in AEM serve as a valuable mechanism for handling asynchronous and background tasks. These jobs are particularly beneficial for managing long-running or resource-intensive operations without disrupting the web application’s request-response cycle. They enhance the standard OSGi EventAdmin eventing mechanism by guaranteeing at least once processing, which is essential for use cases like sending notifications, post-processing content, and managing workflow steps.
