Reflections on GoodJob for Solid Queue

I attended Rails World in Amsterdam this past week. During the conference, a new Active Job backend was announced: Solid Queue (video), which has the potential to become first, first-party backend in Rails. Solid Queue, like my GoodJob, is backed by a relational database. I’m very excited about this! I had a chance to talk to Rosa Gutierrez, who is leading the effort at 37signals, and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to contribute to Solid Queue and who knows, maybe it could even become a successor to GoodJob.
