Ruby on Rails is well known for its simplicity and convention over configuration design philosophy. One of the many powerful features of Rails is its support for background jobs, which allow you to run specific tasks asynchronously in the background without blocking the main thread of execution.

Background jobs are especially useful for tasks that take a long time to complete, such as sending emails, processing images, or generating reports. Using background jobs, you can ensure that your application remains responsive and can continue handling incoming requests even while these long-running tasks are being performed.

There are several different ways to implement background jobs in Ruby on Rails. The most common approach is using a gem such as Sidekiq, Delayed Job, or many more, which provides a simple and efficient way to manage your background jobs. These gems make it easy to enqueue jobs, set priorities, and track their progress.
