Sidekiq-Cron VS libvips

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.

After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.

h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

in that case maybe take a look at https://github.com/libvips/libvips

libvips v8.6+ or ImageMagick for image analysis and transformations
