Postpone

A Beanstalkd backed asynchronous priority queue.

In contrast to other asynchronous priority queues Beanstalkd doesn't use
polling behind the scene. This means that your jobs will start faster.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "postpone"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install postpone

Don't forget to install and start the beanstalkd bin.

Call postpone on any given object to postpone the execution.

User.first.postpone.notify!

Postpone cannot postpone blocks. Why is explained here.

User.first.postpone.notify! { "How do you do?" }

Postpone is build on top of beanstalkd and stalker which means that you need an external worker.

Create a file called jobs.rb and add the following code to it

require "postpone/worker"

Add your own worker to the same file, if you have any.
Take a look at the official stalker repo for more information.

Stalker::job "email.send" do |args|
  Pony.send(to: args['to'], subject: "Hello there")
end

Start your worker using stalk jobs.rb

Keep in mind that the object you are trying to postpone needs to be available on both sides. So if you're trying to postpone an operation on a rails object you need to load the rails environment on the worker side too.

# Loading rails
require File.expand_path("../environment", __FILE__)

# Loading postpone
require "postpone/worker"
