Resque a background job ruby system

Resque (pronounced like "rescue") is a Redis-backed library for creating background jobs, placing those jobs on multiple queues, and processing them later.

Background jobs can be any Ruby class or module that responds to 

perform

. Your existing classes can easily be converted to background jobs or you can create new classes specifically to do work. Or, you can do both.

Note: Maybe we can use this to replace our own background job system.
