cable_ready VS Sidekiq-Cron

cable_ready

This is also a place where I think looking outside of Turbo Streams can be fruitful — Cable Ready has a neat (not-yet-documented) implementation of a really similar concept here.

While CableReady ships with an impressive number of operations out of the box, users should be able to add their own operations. Admittedly, the method used to dynamically create all of the methods for each operation is the most sophisticated one in our framework, but again, we're here to help.

sidekiq-cron

this might be useful? https://github.com/ondrejbartas/sidekiq-cron

Depending on how far into the future you're planning to, it could be worth storing the datetime you want it executed on a field like perform_work_at within your database. Then use sidekiq-cron to check a few times a day for if the perform_work_at has passed & the work needs to be done.

The cron job itself was not a huge hassle; the sidekiq-cron gem worked really well for me here to get everything configured in the application.

If what you need is a job (related to application) you can use sidekiq with sidekiq-cron [https://github.com/ondrejbartas/sidekiq-cron] running every x seconds or when a job ends starts a new one.
