Resque can be very useful outside of a web app, too. What if you want to write jobs in Ruby and just enqueue them from your console? Or from a Java application? Or in cron jobs? Cavalcade to the resque! Cavalcade creates a resque-based, stand-alone job queue, and provides rake tasks to enqueue all of your jobs.
