Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq: Which Is Better?
Delayed Job does not have an inbuilt Web UI, but delayed_job_web gives access to a basic Web UI with similar features to Sidekiq's.
I helped maintain delayed_job_web as a UI. It has fallen behind substantially now though. If folks are looking for a UI - it would be great to update it for modern versions of Rails. https://github.com/ejschmitt/delayed_job_web

Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq: Which Is Better?
Using jemalloc instead of regular malloc helps too. The exact way to do this depends on the platform you use, but it is pretty simple on Heroku. Just set heroku-buildpack-jemalloc as the first buildpack (ahead of the heroku/ruby buildpack).
I've recently discovered jemalloc, specifically when used with Heroku.

FYI, remember to set JEMALLOC_ENABLED=true in your env to actually turn it on.

Digital Ocean App Platform vs Heroku
Like I mentioned earlier, Digital Ocean App Platform uses the same buildpacks as Heroku to deploy your apps. This means that most apps that can be deployed on Heroku should also be deployed on Digital Ocean. There is one big caveat, though; you can't select which buildpack(s) to use. This means you have to rely on Digital Ocean to pick the right ones for your project. It also gives you a bit less flexibility in how your app runs. For instance, I recently configured our app at work to run using jemalloc, a malloc alternative that often has better performance for Ruby apps. We did that via a buildpack heroku-buildpack-jemalloc, which allowed us to switch to jemalloc without any app changes. Customizations to the build environment like this don't seem possible given the Digital Ocean App Platform's current offerings.
