Active Job is a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety of
|
|
queuing backends. These jobs can be everything from regularly scheduled
|
|
clean-ups, to billing charges, to mailings. Anything that can be chopped up into
|
|
small units of work and run in parallel, really.
|
|
|
|
It also serves as the backend for Action Mailer's #deliver_later functionality
|
|
that makes it easy to turn any mailing into a job for running later. That's one
|
|
of the most common jobs in a modern web application: sending emails outside of
|
|
the request-response cycle, so the user doesn't have to wait on it.
|
|
|
|
The main point is to ensure that all Rails apps will have a job infrastructure
|
|
in place, even if it's in the form of an "immediate runner". We can then have
|
|
framework features and other gems build on top of that, without having to worry
|
|
about API differences between Delayed Job and Resque. Picking your queuing
|
|
backend becomes more of an operational concern, then. And you'll be able to
|
|
switch between them without having to rewrite your jobs.
