What problem does it solve?

Keeps business logic out of jobs by providing thin orchestrator jobs that delegate work to models, enabling easier testing and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Thin jobs that call model methods using the _later/_now convention for deterministic async vs sync behavior.
• Rails 8.2 + ActiveJob + Solid Queue integration for Redis-free, database-backed background processing.
• Support for recurring jobs, queue prioritization, and straightforward testing of model-level behavior.
• Patterns for common workflows like notifications, batch processing, and external API calls with minimal job logic.

Quick Start

Create a thin job that calls a model method using the _later/_now convention and run it with Solid Queue.
