  step :send_reminder, wait: 2.days do

Geneva Drive is a Ruby library that turns long, fragile procedures into sequences of discrete, durable steps. Each step begins and ends at rest; failures resume where they stopped; retries do not double-run.

Get started

$ bundle add geneva_drive
$ bin/rails generate geneva_drive:install && bin/rails db:migrate
