# Wrangling slow reports, large file exports, and long-running tasks in Rails with ActiveJob

## with Matt Swanson

In every non-trivial application you'll have to do something that is just slow. Maybe your application needs to export a large data set to a CSV file. Maybe your business needs a complicated Excel report to be generated. Or maybe you have a workflow that has to connect to external systems or, well, just do a lot of stuff.

But how do you know when it's time to move things to background jobs?
