title: Background processing of paperclip attachments
body: <p>I'm using <a href="https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip" rel="nofollow">paperclip</a> and <a href="https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job" rel="nofollow">delayed_job</a> for quite a while now. The <a href="https://github.com/jstorimer/delayed_paperclip" rel="nofollow">delayed_paperclip</a> gem acts a nice glue for me. It helps me putting the heavy processing of the other styles into delayed jobs, processed on a worker server. Also it's great to find out if an attachments still is queued or processing.</p>
  
  <p>My problem now is that delayed_paperclip is not maintained since 4 months anymore and paperclip goes big steps forward. So I got stuck.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone give me a hint what I can use as an alternative?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to go away from paperclip and delayed_job if possible. Also the attachments have to be processed on a different server.</p>
