Migrating from Sidekiq to Solid Queue | Kyle Keesling

With the recent release of Solid Queue, and a little bit of extra free time due to the holidays, I made a decision to migrate my apps away from Sidekiq. The idea of simplifying my infrastructure requirements by removing Redis from the equation, and the relatively vanilla requirements I have for a background queuing system were just enough to convince me this was a worthwhile exercise.I won’t bore you with every machinations of copying, pasting, and deleting code since it’s realtively straightforward, but I did think it was worth sharing a few highlights, considerations, and gotchas I came across.
