Introducing Ant: a Simple Background Job Processing Library for Elixir

Ant is a newly introduced library for managing background job processing in the Elixir programming environment. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, providing features such as job persistence, retrying failed jobs, and monitoring job statuses. Ant utilizes Mnesia for storing data, aiming to offer a dependency-free option for background processing while still allowing advanced configurations. Despite its ease of use, using Mnesia might present challenges in cloud environments due to the need for configuring persistent storage, and the lack of extensive resources for Mnesia compared to other solutions like Oban that utilize PostgreSQL.
