|
Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby.
|
|
|
|
Sidekiq uses threads to handle many jobs at the same time in the
|
|
same process. It does not require Rails but will integrate tightly with
|
|
Rails to make background processing dead simple.
|
|
|
|
Sidekiq is compatible with Resque. It uses the exact same
|
|
message format as Resque so it can integrate into an existing Resque processing farm.
|
|
You can have Sidekiq and Resque run side-by-side at the same time and
|
|
use the Resque client to enqueue jobs in Redis to be processed by Sidekiq.

Sidekiq stays fast by using the [JProfiler java profiler](http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/jprofiler/overview.html) to find and fix
|
|
performance problems on JRuby. Unfortunately MRI does not have good multithreaded profiling tools.
