## What it is
Gush is a Ruby gem for defining and running parallel workflows as directed acyclic graphs, using Redis for storage and ActiveJob for job scheduling and execution. It includes a CLI and a simple DSL for declaring job dependencies.

## Use cases
- run parallel background jobs with dependencies in ruby
- orchestrate a DAG of ActiveJob workers
- pipeline data fetching, processing, and indexing steps
- replace complex sidekiq workflow chaining
- execute fan-out/fan-in job graphs with redis

## When to choose
- you're on Ruby/Rails and already use ActiveJob or Sidekiq
- you need dependency-aware parallel execution backed by Redis
- you want a lightweight workflow DSL without heavy orchestration infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you need durable, multi-language or long-running workflow orchestration like Temporal or Airflow
- your project doesn't use Redis or ActiveJob
- you need visual workflow management or cron-style scheduling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: workflow-automation, scheduling, message-queue, concurrency
- domain: backend, developer-tools, microservices
- platform: ruby, cli
- tags: activejob, sidekiq, dag, parallel-workflows, job-orchestration, automation, redis
