What is better to use for background process?

Question

Ruby on Rails

The feature should accept the date and time from the params and make the message invalid when the time expires.
My idea is to start a background process that will run after the time expires and write to the message .active = false column.
Which background processes are better to use (sidekiq, delay job....). A couple of good pointers where to dig? And a couple of lines if you met with a similar task. Thank you!

Answer 1

It all depends on the specific requirements.
- it may be suitable for you to perform tasks with a delay via sidekiq

- it may be enough times in n to update the data in the database via cron

- or maybe active calls are not needed, but just enough.where('created_at < ?', 10.days.ago)
