About Us
SimpleWorker is an elastic scheduling and background processing / worker queue for Ruby applications. Why manage your own queue and servers when with just a few lines of code you can make use of reliable and almost infinitely scalable background processing in the cloud.
Overview
Every modern web app needs to run jobs in the background – whether it’s to speed up web responses, process data, schedule jobs to run later, or run lots of batch or parallel jobs. SimpleWorker provides a simple, scalable, and massively parallel way to schedule and handle background processing in the cloud.
SimpleWorker requires no setup or maintenance. Developers define workers in their application and then queue or schedule them to run in the cloud with just a few lines of code. SimpleWorker manages the job queues, scheduling, and processing.
The service runs on industrial strength cloud infrastructure and can queue up 100s or 1,000s of jobs at the same time. Dashboard and API access allows for advanced monitoring and debugging, providing unmatched visibility and control over a core component within the modern IT architecture stack.
