Newest way to handle Cron Jobs?
https://github.com/Rykian/clockwork always worked well when I have used it in the past.

Any idea how can we convert the string time to utc in ruby.
Unless you have very specific requirements that preclude this, you might want to run this task as a background job (e.g. Sidekiq worker) instead of as a rake task. This is a little bit of an opinion. There isn't one right way (indeed, that's one of the best things about Ruby). But in my career I've usually seen rake tasks used for things that need to be performed infrequently, and not as part of normal system operation. For things that need to be performed at regular intervals, and are part of the normal operation of the app, I usually see them set up as scheduled background jobs. You can use a background job gem (Sidekiq is wildly popular; Resque is another good one) and combine it with a scheduler (I'm personally a fan of the Clockwork gem but there are others out there).
