What is delayed_job?
Delayed_job (or DJ) encapsulates the common pattern of asynchronously executing longer tasks in the background. It is a direct extraction from Shopify where the job table is responsible for a multitude of core tasks.
What is Posthook?
Posthook provides an API for scheduling tasks at specific times where the only requirement is the ability to make and receive HTTPS requests.
What is Sidekiq?
Sidekiq uses threads to handle many jobs at the same time in the same process. It does not require Rails but will integrate tightly with Rails 3/4 to make background processing dead simple.
