= Active Job -- Make work happen later

Active Job is a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety
of queueing backends. These jobs can be everything from regularly scheduled
clean-ups, billing charges, or mailings. Anything that can be chopped up into
small units of work and run in parallel, really.

It also serves as the backend for ActionMailer'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.


== Supported queueing systems

We currently have adapters for:

* Resque 1.x
* Sidekiq
* Sucker Punch

We would like to have adapters for:

* Delayed Job
* beanstalkd
* rabbitmq


== Under development as a gem, targeted for Rails inclusion

Active Job is currently being developed in a separate repository until it's
ready to be merged in with Rails. The current plan is to have Active Job
be part of the Rails 4.2 release, but plans may change depending on when
this framework stabilizes and feels ready.


== Download and installation

The latest version of Active Job can be installed with RubyGems:

  % [sudo] gem install activejob

Source code can be downloaded as part of the Rails project on GitHub

* https://github.com/rails/activejob
