Using Solid Queue in Development with Docker and on Heroku - Stuff… And Things…

I recently started a small project that needed Active Job and thought I’d try out the Solid Queue backend. If you haven’t been keeping up, Solid Queue is a database backend for Active Job. Instead of using Redis or Memcached, you use whatever database you are currently using with Active Record. The operating theory is that modern databases are fast enough to use this way and that doing so simplifies your infrastructure.
