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. + WWW: https://rubyonrails.org/ +WWW: https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/activejob
