Maintenance Tasks

Data migrations that run in the background, report progress, and can be paused,
resumed and cancelled from a web UI.

What you get

• Tasks defined as Ruby classes with a collection and a per-record block
• Progress, throttling and error handling
• Pause, resume, cancel
• A run history, so you can prove a backfill finished

Mounting it

# Gemfile
gem "maintenance_tasks"

# config/routes.rb
authenticate :user, ->(user) { user.admin? } do
  mount MaintenanceTasks::Engine, at: "/maintenance_tasks"
end

Why not a rake task

A rake task in a terminal has no progress, no resumability, and no record that it ran.
This has all three.
