What's the "Rails" way of designing a multi-step workflow with background jobs? Each job triggering the next, active record callbacks, state machines or something else? Help!

What’s everyone using for calling international numbers these days?

I was using Skype 4 times a year to call institutions etc that don’t fit WhatsApp/signal/zoom etc, but Skype’s closing.

370k ppl went to the MCG ground over 5 days to watch #AUSvIND cricket and Aus finally triumph near the final hour. Huge attendance. 70k on final day. Would have been a great atmosphere.
