  • 3 one-person million dollar online businesses
    Sidekiq https://sidekiq.org/: This one started as an open source project, once it got enough traction, the developer made a premium version of it, and makes money by selling licenses to businesses. Source: 5 months ago
  • We built the fastest CI in the world. It failed
    > I'm not sure feature withholding has traditionally worked out well in the developer space. I think it's worked out well for Sidekiq (https://sidekiq.org). I really like their model of layering valuable features between the OSS / Pro / Enterprise licenses. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
  • Organize Business Logic in Your Ruby on Rails Application
    The code above isn't idempotent. If you run it twice, it will create two copies, which is probably not what you intended. Why is this important? Because most backend job processors like Sidekiq don't make any guarantees that your jobs will run exactly once. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
  • An M1 for Curl
    Relevant Patio11 comment from 2016: > We don't donate to OSS software which we use, because we're legally not allowed to. > I routinely send key projects, particularly smaller projects, a request to quote me a commercial license of their project, with the explanation that I would accept a quote of $1,000 and that the commercial license can be their existing OSS license plus an invoice. My books suggest we've spent... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • How to run a really long task from a Rails web request
    So how do we trigger such a long-running process from a Rails request? The first option that comes to mind is a background job run by some of the queuing back-ends such as Sidekiq, Resque or DelayedJob, possibly governed by ActiveJob. While this would surely work, the problem with all these solutions is that they usually have a limited number of workers available on the server and we didn’t want to potentially... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • Ask HN: Great Single Person Businesses?
    Can I toot my own horn? No? Okay, okay -- then Mike Perham from https://sidekiq.org is pretty great. I’d list others, but a lot of great single person businesses eventually turn into more than a single person business, so none come to mind right now other than Sidekiq. (Currently trying to think of more...). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Pricing for SaaS - should a self-hosted / OnPrem version be comparatively cheaper or more expensive to purchase?
    A great example of this is Sidekiq and their enterprise pricing. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Distributed Systems with Rails
    ActiveJob is a Rails library that saves metadata to the backplane and runs operations in the background. Sidekiq is another popular library that serves the same purpose. Sidekiq implements the ActiveJob interface and includes advanced features not available in ActiveJob. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq: Which Is Better?
    The Enterprise version comes with yet more features. If you are looking for something that a regular Sidekiq installation can't solve, explore the paid Sidekiq features. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • Just sent this to my fellow developer colleagues
    This is the best example off the top of my head: https://sidekiq.org/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Day 4 – Adding Tech Debt
    When I was working as a Ruby on Rails developer a few years ago, it was common practice to queue jobs for later. The motivation for this was simple: Keep the HTTP request cycle as short as possible. Complex tasks and work that could be done asynchronously was pushed into a job queue. One reasons for this was that it improved the user experience. Another that Sidekiq, the background job system, was just so good and... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
  • Day 3 – Productive Procrastination
    When I worked as a Ruby on Rails developer in the past, I always had great experiences with Sidekiq. It was so good that it became second nature to throw everything that didn't need to be synchronous into a queue and process it in the background. Luckily, Faktory exists as a "polyglot version of Sidekiq" (don't @ me). - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
  • What do you use for background jobs?
    In the Ruby world, sidekiq is a popular background job server. I can see that the same company makes faktory, which is written in Go. I'm also aware of Cadence and Temporal, which are both written in Go. Source: over 2 years ago
  • 10 things I add to every Rails app
    I often don’t set this up right away, but within the first week or two of development comes the time for background jobs. I like to stick with what I know and Sidekiq along with it’s web interface is easy to use and reliable. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

  • Hotwire Fix for CORS Error when using Omniauth
    I have a couple of areas on the site that rely on a Sidekiq and update a page when the job is complete. A perfect use case for Hotwire. The job processed, changes broadcast, and pages updated when the model changed. It worked as planned! - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
  • What’s the difference between frontend and backend?
    But it is not all about presenting information to the user who is browsing your website. Sending email notifications is something that is managed by a queuing system that runs asynchronously to improve concurrency. There are several solutions to this matter. In Ruby’s world a popular system is Sidekiq , which uses Redis to get quick access to what it needs to process. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
  • Write libraries instead of services, where possible
    Sidekiq [0], as well. Though that's a Ruby background processor. [0]: https://sidekiq.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
