Gems, so many to choose from, so only a special mention: sneakers as an alternative to sidekiq.

How to run a really long task from a Rails web request
So how do we trigger such a long-running process from a Rails request? The first option that comes to mind is a background job run by some of the queuing back-ends such as Sidekiq, Resque or DelayedJob, possibly governed by ActiveJob. While this would surely work, the problem with all these solutions is that they usually have a limited number of workers available on the server and we didn’t want to potentially block other important background tasks for so long.

Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq: Which Is Better?
Several gems support job queues and background processing in the Rails world — Delayed Job and Sidekiq being the two most popular ones.
Rails 7 support only just got added https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/pull/1161
Seems maintained to me:

Why does rails have a tradition of queuing background jobs in a separate NoSQL store, when both the queueing controller and the job class tend to hammer the main database anyway?
Back in the day, before Sidekiq and such, we used Delayed Job https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job

Schedule background jobs in Rails with Integromat
I always wad a fan of Sidekiq, but recently I wanted to remove redis as a dependency. I ended up going back to classic delayed_job. My reason for that was I also didn't want dependency with Postgres, as I like to use sqlite on development and Postgres on production. The best solution I've seen is Que, which works with Postgres. It is complete, has all the features you need.

Digital Ocean App Platform vs Heroku
Before we dive in, I wanted to go over my background real quick for context. I'm mostly a Rails developer professionally, and I am on the 'Infrastructure' team at work, so I integrate closely with Heroku and am pretty familiar with their product and offerings. Given my Rails background, this article will focus on deploying a web app with at least one background job process. For my hackathon app, I had a web process running Puma and a worker process running DelayedJob.
