Ruby concurrency is hard: how I became a Ruby on Rails contributor
I'm using Quantum as my job runner in Elixir. Doesn't require even Postgres. Can't due that in Rails or other stacks:

^ obviously it won't fit every use case but for that there's Oban which is awesome:

Elixir: Practical Concurrency Cookbook
In some cases, we might want to run our code at specific times. Not necessarily every 3 minutes, but every day at 08.00AM. While this is perfectly achievable leveraging the same tools, I'll be pragmatic and recommend Quantum. It allows you to schedule the execution of functions with a cron syntax and takes away all the complexity of managing processes. It's a seasoned library, widely-adopted within the community, very lightweight... And extremely simple.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing timex and quantum you can also consider the following projects:
tzdata - tzdata for Elixir. Born from the Calendar library.
calendar - date-time and time zone handling in Elixir
filtrex - A library for performing and validating complex filters from a client (e.g. smart filters)
chronos - An elixir date/time library
Cronex - A cron like system built in Elixir, that you can mount in your supervision tree
