Laravel – How to continue executing PHP controller after returning the HTTP Get request response to angular frontend

There is a HTTP GET request made from angular frontend and that request is hitting our PHP controller. We are generating a reference number in controller and making some external API calls to prepare some data. I need the controller to return a response to the get request first with generated reference number and then continue doing other external API calls to prepare data.
My question is how can I achieve returning the response first from controller and then continue with other logic in same controller.
I have taken reference from here
but still controller function doesn’t actually return response until the finally block completes.

try {
    return response("", 200);
} finally {
    // Controller logic here
}

    You should probably use a Queue for that. See the Docs.

    Simple example:

    
// Run `php artisan make:job`

use AppJobsProcessDataJob;

public function yourControllerMethod()
{
    $referenceNumber = generateReferenceNumber();

    return response($referenceNumber, 200)


    // Dispatch the job for further processing
    ProcessDataJob::dispatch($referenceNumber);
}

    There is also a terminable middleware. Search it in the documentation Laravel difference between terminable middleware and after middleware
