Changes in this PR:

The current process for building PDFs is too slow for batch usage - it takes 1.5 seconds to build each PDF, and around another 500ms to render the result. As a result we need to cache PDF generation at job submission time so that we can bulk download them via our new ATS functionality.

This PR adds a background job to build PDFs for applications as they are submitted, and a rake task to back-fill PDFs into existing job applications.

I'm slightly nervous about how long the back-fill on job PDFs might take - is there a better solution so that we don't have to cache these?

Next steps:

  • Terraform deployment required?

  • New development configuration to be shared?
