Scheduling stuff in the future

I've been doing some research but I can't figure out on how to do this in Rails. I need to execute some code after a certain amount of time. I found some gems that can handle this but I don't want to use any.

I basically have a create function in a Rails controller and some stuff need to happen there after 24 hours.

EDIT: I tried with sleep but it needs to be async and sleep will stop everything from running until it's done, even if it is in a if statement.

You need to create an ActionJob with rails generate job your_job_name. Then you can delay its execution

YourJob.set(wait_until: 1.day.from_now)

For this to work you indeed need a Job queue to be configured for your project. I personally recommend Sidekiq

Sadly, you will have a hard time avoiding setting up a gem for this.
