Getting Started
Beanstalkd is a fast and simple work queue. What does this mean? Well, Beanstalkd is used to run the tasks asynchronously by putting the job into the queue. A queue is something you store a job in it. And, Job is almost anything.

- Storing user information into the table.
- Sending welcome mail at the same time to the user.
- Sending SMS etc.
