Chompy imports users and activity from CSV files and third-party API requests. Each record to be imported is dispatched as a job on a queue. Any failed jobs in the queue are retried once a daily (configured via the Heroku Scheduler add-on). Failed jobs are infinitely retried until they are manually removed by an admin (via Chompy UI) or a developer (via Heroku CLI).
