Thanks this looks great. I think that many applications do not have to handle thousand jobs/sec, so a complex setup with an AMQP server/etc is not always needed.

Thanks! Yes, that’s true. The most important is to get this tasks of the response/request cycle. I have been using workling/starling, it works great but it could feel to advance in some cases. With monitor tool like new relic it’s obvious that controller actions that involvs email can take a while, so it’s nice to be albe to off load stuff like this in a simple way.

Why not just use DelayedJob?

I think that is a matter of taste. I like the syntax for invoking method asynchronous and the background mailer feature. But that could be implemented on top of deplayed_job aswell.
