Task scheduling in Laravel encompasses the feature set offered by the framework to automate the running of recurring tasks at designated time intervals.
It provides a straightforward and expressive syntax for defining tasks and their corresponding schedules. These tasks can involve executing artisan commands, running custom closures, or triggering predefined Laravel commands. Leveraging the cron utility of the server, Laravel's task scheduler ensures the automatic execution of scheduled tasks as per the specified timetable.
This functionality proves valuable in automating repetitive operations like database backups, periodic email dispatches, and other similar tasks, ultimately streamlining developer workflows and conserving time and effort.
