ActiveJob: Async and Inline adapters don't execute my code?
To my best memory, when retries are exhausted, and I hope you mean Sidekiq retries, not Active Job's retries, Sidekiq raises an exception that Active Job catches and runs your error handler (that typically submits to Sentry/Rollbar). The job is moved to the Dead queue. I can't tell the details off the top of my head, the guide has an explanation why using Active Job retries with Sidekiq is a bad idea. https://github.com/toptal/active-job-style-guide#retries

Organize Business Logic in Your Ruby on Rails Application
There are several workarounds for this, like the magnificent Acidic Job gem or Sidekiq Pro/Enterprise features around enhanced reliability and unique jobs. Still, if they occur, bugs related to missing jobs and/or job idempotency are hard to track down and even harder to fix.
