Delayed job vs Active job

What is the difference between delayed job and active job in Ruby on Rails? Why should I use delayed job if active job is present? I have tried to find some more information but I have not been successful.

ActiveJob is very similar idea to ActiveRecord.

ActiveRecord is a wrapper. You can write code for it and then it decides how to execute it, depending which backend you're using.

ActiveJob is just another wrapper. In this case DelayedJob would be the backend that actually runs jobs. If down the road you decide to switch to something like Resque or Sidekiq, all your code should still work because translation is handled by ActiveJob wrapper
