Tips for Job Interviews as a Junior Software Developer Sep 27, 2020
As coding bootcamps such as Coder Academy and General Assembly churn out more and more software developers, and as more and more people…
If you don’t already know, ’delayed_job’ is a database based asynchronously priority queue system extracted from Shopify.
I was seeking for a lightweight, easy to use solution for queueing tasks, ‘delayed_job’ fits the bill almost perfectly. ;)
One thing we needed to do for a Rails 2 project at Envato, was to queue the tasks and to run them one after another, at a set interval. 'delayed_job’ unfortunately doesn’t come with this feature.
So, instead of searching for more complicated solutions or reinventing the wheels, Imade a couple of commits to my fork to add this functionality as well as to fix some rails 3 compatibility issues.
Now you can simply add the following line to your config/initializers/delayed_job_config.rb file to have the tasks run at 1 minute interval.
