Sidekiq is one of the most ubiquitous1 Ruby background job processors out there. To anybody who has worked with Ruby on and off Rails, it needs no introduction. Sidekiq has a 10 year track record of being an efficient, battle-tested and simple-to-use solution for offloading the execution of application logic into the background.It utilizes a threaded model for job processing, uses Redis as a backend and claims to have an ‘at least once’ semantic when it comes to processing jobs (with a caveat) in a free open-source version. Sidekiq also offers 2 additional paid versions - Pro and Enterprise, each of them introducing additional features and extensions. For obvious reasons, I will not go into the details of these versions.
