Switching From Resque to Sidekiq

A year ago at Kenna, we had our background processing jobs split between Sidekiq and Resque. We had our long-running jobs in Resque which could handle rolling restarts every time we deployed so we didn't have to worry about long running jobs getting killed. We had our fast, high quantity jobs in Sidekiq since it was better and faster at processing small, quick running jobs.Then Sidekiq Enterprise 1.7.0 happened. Sidekiq Enterprise 1.7 was released in January 2018 and came with support for Rolling Restarts which caught our attention. That's when we started wondering if we could use Sidekiq to process all of our jobs instead of just some of them.
