Running Solid Queue in production Rails apps - Honeybadger Developer Blog

Solid Queue is a new backend for ActiveJob. It was announced at Rails World, along with Solid Cache. Like Solid Cache, Solid Queue moves away from memory solutions like Redis and towards the database. Solid Queue takes advantage of speed increases of databases in recent years to power background job processing at scale. Rather than processing your background jobs in memory, it queues and processes them in your database. This comes with a slower speed but allows you to have more space for queues, as database space is much cheaper than memory space. When paired with Mission Control, Solid Queue can make background job processing and monitoring easier and more affordable for developers.You can follow along with the tutorial and even view the final project here on Github.
