@albus522 any chance this could get reviewed? |

It's probably the right path forward but it is a breaking change so it warrants a bit more consideration |

@albus522 I hope you've had time to consider this? |
We've been facing performance issues with our delayed jobs table. One of the initiatives we're experimenting on is using a separate database for delayed jobs. Rails supports multiple database connections since version 6.0 using `ActiveRecord::ConnectionHandling#connects_to`. However, since 6.1, Rails does not allow using `connects_to` in non abstract classes to avoid opening multiple connections to the database. The recommeneded way to do it is to create a new abstract class and have your models that need a different connection inherit from that new abstract class. Also, the current version of the delayed job active record backend does not support connection config. The quickest work around is to make Delayed::Backend::ActiveRecord::Job inherit from a new abstract class Delayed::Backend::ActiveRecord::Base that can be monkey patched with minimal impact.
