Active Job Continuations

Active Job Continuations was recently merged to Rails. We recommend you to go through the description in the pull request since they are so well written.

If you prefer watching a video to learn about Active Job Continuations, then we made a video for you.

In short this feature allows you to configure your jobs in such a manner that the job can be interrupted and next time when the job starts it'll start from a particular point so that work done so far is not totally wasted.

This work is highly inspired by Shopify's job-iteration gem.
