What is carrierwave_backgrounder?
CarrierWave Backgrounder is a Ruby gem that offloads CarrierWave's image processing and file storage operations to background jobs. It solves the problem of web requests being blocked while waiting for images to process, improving application performance and user experience. The gem integrates with ActiveJob or Sidekiq to handle these tasks asynchronously.
Ruby on Rails developers using CarrierWave for file uploads who need to improve application responsiveness by moving image processing out of request cycles. Particularly useful for applications with heavy image processing requirements or those deployed on platforms like Heroku with ephemeral file storage.
Developers choose CarrierWave Backgrounder because it seamlessly integrates with existing CarrierWave setups while providing reliable background processing without blocking web requests. Its support for both ActiveJob and Sidekiq, along with customizable workers and processing status tracking, offers flexibility for different application architectures.
