Something at work we use that's great for this is ResqueDelayable. Typically I see Resque tutorials extract bits of logic out into worker classes, but this adds refactoring/organization overhead. ResqueDelayable allows this non-queued work: def post_comment add_comment self.notify_followers # Could have lots of followers Analytics.record_new_comment # Unnecessary for api response end to become queued work, with no real refactoring: def post_comment add_comment self.rdelay.notify_followers Analytics.rdelay.record_new_comment end
