Backends

delayed_job allows you to use whatever data store you want for the job queue. Here are the current backends:

• ActiveRecord (DJ 3.0+)
• DataMapper
• IronMQ
• Mongoid
• MongoMapper
• MongoMapper (DJ 3.0+, MongoMapper 0.11.0+)
• Redis (DJ 3.0+, experimental)

Implementing a new backend

It’s really easy to make delayed_job work with your preferred data store. Just copy one of the existing ones, and implement Delayed::Backend::[YourBackendName]::Job.
