Hey guys, first post on dev.to. I thought I would introduce a gem we have developed to simplify the life of RoR people when deploying apps to Cloud Run.

Running background jobs on Cloud Run can be a pain because traditional job processors like Sidekiq or Resque are not an option if you want to go full serverless.

So we developed a library to do background jobs processing using Google Cloud Tasks. If you like Sidekiq, you should like Cloudtasker (we hope!)

Here is the link to the library: https://github.com/keypup-io/cloudtasker

And also a full blog post showcasing the gem: https://www.keypup.io/blog/cloud-tasks-for-ruby-and-rails
