cadence VS Sidekiq

Uber | Software Engineers | Hybrid (Denmark) | https://www.uber.com/dk/en/careers/locations/aarhus/

Work with an amazing team responsible for the infrastructure software that makes Uber’s data centers around the world reliable and scalable. If you want to solve the toughest engineering challenges alongside some of the smartest people in the industry, Uber Aarhus is the right place for you.

The team in Aarhus build and operate the stateless and stateful compute platforms used by nearly every other engineer in the company (Up - https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/up-portable-microservices-re... and Odin - https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/how-uber-optimized-cassandra...) as well as other related infrastructure projects such as Cadence - https://github.com/uber/cadence.

a managed esb orchestration for example is exactly same as step functions and workflow engines like cadence - https://github.com/uber/cadence

Having done a reasonable amount of messaging code in my time, I would say the final form of this sort of thing might look more like Cadence[0] than anything like this.

Emit events from your primary DB (postgres, etc.) to something like kafka or rabbitmq and then catch that in your search engine. There's also some end-to-end solutions like temporal (temporal.io) or cadence (https://cadenceworkflow.io/)

Hi there! I want to show off a little feature I made using hanami, htmx and a little bit of redis + sidekiq.

I'd say Sidekiq is the top competitor here.

There's something wrong at Redislabs, it took them over a year to get RESP3 rolled out into their hosted service, you'd expect a rollout of that to be a bit quicker when they're the owner of Redis.

It affected us when upgrading Sidekiq to version 7, which dropped support for older Redis, and their Envoy proxy setup didn't support HELLO and RESP3: https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/issues/5594

That depends on how the `maxmemory-policy` is configured, and queue systems based on Redis will tell you not to allow eviction. https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/wiki/Using-Redis#memory (it even logs a warnings if it detects your Redis is misconfigured IIRC).

Sidekiq https://sidekiq.org/: This one started as an open source project, once it got enough traction, the developer made a premium version of it, and makes money by selling licenses to businesses.

Sidekiq will drop in-progress jobs when a worker crashes. Sidekiq Pro can recover those jobs but with a large delay. Sidekiq is excellent overall but it’s not suitable for processing critical jobs with a low latency guarantee.

> I'm not sure feature withholding has traditionally worked out well in the developer space.

I think it's worked out well for Sidekiq (https://sidekiq.org). I really like their model of layering valuable features between the OSS / Pro / Enterprise licenses.

I was studying Sidekiq's page on rate limiters. The first type of rate limiting mentioned is the concurrent limiter: only n tasks are allowed to run at any point in time. Note that this is independent of time units (e.g. per second), or how long they take to run. The only limitation is the number of concurrent tasks/requests.
