Introducing GoodJob Bulk and Batch
To be fair, I think GoodJob is the third youngest Active Job backend (released in 2020). The younger ones are Skiplock and betterment/delayed.

Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq: Which Is Better?
One big difference if you're changing forks is to take note of "at least once delivery": https://github.com/betterment/delayed#at-least-once-delivery
If you're not aware of that, simply switching repos may cause some surprises.

How to Avoid Race Conditions in Rails
If you use Sidekiq workers to make changes to your database, you can use SidekiqUniqueJobs to add unique constraints to Sidekiq queues. Uniqueness is achieved by acquiring locks for a hash of a queue name, a worker class, and a job's arguments. By default, only one lock for a given hash can be acquired. If an attempt to acquire a new lock is made, an exception SidekiqUniqueJobs::ScriptError is raised.

All of which also extend the web UI for Sidekiq which is incredibly useful for both debugging and having a handle on what's with your queues.
Finally, if you're going to be using Sidekiq in any serious way I'd recommend Nate Berkopec's "Sidekiq in Practice" - https://nateberk.gumroad.com/l/sidekiqinpractice
Beyond being an incredibly useful resource on its own - you get access to a very active private Slack that is filled with other very helpful developers who are using Sidekiq.

Getting Sidekiq to play nicely with auto-scaling
That's an interesting suggestion. We're relying on ActiveJob and sidekiq-unique-jobs doesn't explicitly support it, unfortunately. We'll have to test it out, though, and see if it just happens to work.
