A scheduling plugin for Shoryuken that uses Dynamo DB to delay messages arbitrarily far into the future.

An SQS message is only queued if a conditional delete of the DDB item is successful. This eliminates any potential race condition, so if more than one shoryuken-later process is polling the same schedule table then no redundant SQS messages will be queued.

NOTE: You shouldn't really need to run more than one process, but if you do it will be safe.

Supports polling one or more DynamoDB tables for messages.

later:
  tables:
    - default_schedule
    - other_schedule

You can use the same configuration file for both Shoryuken and Shoryuken::Later, because the new configuration options are namespaced.

# These keys are used by both Shoryuken and Shoryuken::Later
aws:
  access_key_id:      ...       # or <%= ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] %>
  secret_access_key:  ...       # or <%= ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] %>
  region:             us-east-1 # or <%= ENV['AWS_REGION'] %>
logfile: some/path/to/file.log
  
# This key is only used by Shoryuken::Later
later:
  delay: 5 * 60   # How frequently to poll the schedule table, in seconds.
  pidfile: some/path/to/file.pid
  tables:
    - table1

# These keys are only used by Shoryuken
concurrency: 3
delay: 0
queues:
  - [queue1, 1]
  - [queue2, 2]

Start the shoryuken-later schedule poller with a command like:

bundle exec shoryuken-later --config shoryuken.yml

Run it as a daemon inside of your Rails app with a command like:

bundle exec shoryuken-later --config shoryuken.yml --rails --daemon

Command-line options

A custom ActiveJob adapter can used to support delaying messages arbitrarily far into the future.

# config/application.rb
config.active_job.queue_adapter = :shoryuken_later

When you use the :shoryuken_later queue adapter, jobs to be performed farther than 15 minutes into the future (by setting the wait or wait_until ActiveJob options), will be inserted into the default schedule table. You can set the default schedule table in an initializer.

# config/initializers/shoryuken_later.rb
Shoryuken::Later.default_table = "#{Rails.env}_myapp_later"

A new method named perform_later is added to Shoryuken::Worker allowing messages to be delayed arbitrarily far into the future. If the delay is 15 minutes or less, then the message is enqueued into the specified SQS :queue as usual. Otherwise, the message is inserted into the specified DynamoDB :schedule_table.

 require 'shoryuken-later'

 class MyWorker
   include Shoryuken::Worker
  
   shoryuken_options queue: 'default', schedule_table: 'default_schedule'
 end

 # Schedules a message to be processed 30 minutes from now.
 MyWorker.perform_later(Time.now + 30 * 60, 'Foobar')

Ruby 2.0 or greater. Ruby 1.9 is no longer supported.
