The most common way to schedule a Sidekiq
job is with the perform_async method. That will queue up your job so that it
is worked as soon as possible. That may not also be desired. Sometimes you
want a bit more say in when jobs are run.
The perform_in and perform_at methods can help with scheduling jobs out
into the future.
With perform_in we can say how much time from now would be the soonest that
we'd like the job performed.
MyWorker.perform_in(10.minutes, arg1, arg2)We can do the same thing with perform_at.
MyWorker.perform_at(10.minutes.from_now, arg1, arg2)Or we can schedule something out for a specific point in time in the future.
MyWorker.perform_at(Date.today.end_of_week, arg1, arg2)
