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:

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.
