The price of Litecoin just barely went over its 2017 peak, which to many sounds bad, although 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies failed during the 2018 bear run, so litecoin has still beat the majority of the market. Source: 12 months ago

It is hard to imagine any big and complex Rails project without background jobs processing. There are many gems for this task: **Delayed Job, Sidekiq, Resque, SuckerPunch** and more. And Active Job has arrived here to rule them all. - Source: dev.to / 10 days ago

Obviously, that is not what I’ve expected from Delayed::Job workers. So I took the shovel and started digging into git history. Since the last release the only significant modification has been made in the internationalization. We’ve moved to I18n-active_record backend to grant the privilege to modify translations not only to developers but also to highly-educated mere mortals. - Source: dev.to / 10 days ago

So how do we trigger such a long-running process from a Rails request? The first option that comes to mind is a background job run by some of the queuing back-ends such as Sidekiq, Resque or DelayedJob, possibly governed by ActiveJob. While this would surely work, the problem with all these solutions is that they usually have a limited number of workers available on the server and we didn’t want to potentially... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

Several gems support job queues and background processing in the Rails world — Delayed Job and Sidekiq being the two most popular ones. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

Back in the day, before Sidekiq and such, we used Delayed Job https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job. Source: over 2 years ago
