Best Practices

Job parameters should be simple objects

Before pushing your job to SQS Funktor will convert the job arguments to JSON.

This means that your job arguments should be simple data types (numbers, strings, boolean, array, hash) and not complex Ruby objects. Complex objects like Date or ActiveRecord models will not work properly.

So you should NOT do this:

# Don't do this
order = Order.find(order_id)
OrderProcessorWorker.perform_async(order)

Instead you should do this:

OrderProcessorWorker.perform_async(order_id)
