Answer 1

There is a bundle called AsyncServiceCallBundle which allows you to call your service's methods in background.

You can refer this answer for more details about how it is done internally. Everything you need is to invoke your service's method as follows:

$this->get('krlove.async')->call('service_id', 'method', [$arg1, $arg2]);
