Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Faktory: Language-agnostic persistent background job server

Ruby 3.3
Mike Perham (the sidekiq maintainer) also maintains the less well known faktory[0] which is language agnostic and has runners for both Ruby and Python

Software Disenchantment
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance's entire thesis is "What is Quality?" How do you define it? How does it come about?
You can still get software quality but you have to be willing to devote time and effort to it. The binary for my modern, commercial background job engine written in Go, Faktory, is 5MB in size.
https://github.com/contribsys/faktory/releases/tag/v1.8.0
I know when I see an iOS app that is 5-10MB in size, I know it was crafted by someone who cares.

Building a PHP client for Faktory, Part 1
My recent queue foray put me on the scent of Faktory, a language-agnostic queue server made by Sidekiq's author. I noticed there wasn't a good PHP client (the one linked in the docs is pretty old), so I decided to build one.

What is the best task queue?
At work we use https://github.com/contribsys/faktory
-
New Gem for background job processing from Ruby/Rails -> Crystal
Have you heard of faktory before? Made by the sidekiq guy and allows you to d a similar thing.
- Are there any actively maintained or official Golang libraries for managing work queues?
-
Celery + RabbitMQ alternatives
I’ve started using Faktory with the Faktory Worker Python it also supports workers in any language.
-
Golang task queue
Try https://github.com/contribsys/faktory which is written in go but you interact with it as a service.

What are some popular background job processing frameworks in the Rust ecosystem?
There is faktory, from the author of Sidekiq, which is language-agnostic (the server is written in Go).

Client side Git hooks 101
Here's a real life example: Imagine a Ruby on Rails app on which a team of developers are working. The code is hosted on GitLab and all the work is coordinated using GitLab issues. In other words: For every commit, there's an associated issue and the issue number acts as a sort of primary key for documentation, time reporting and so forth. This convention has a few advantages, most notably the ability to easily learn more about how, when and by whom features were implemented as well as how this implementation came to be.

16 Best Ruby Frameworks For Web Development [2024]
Ruby on Rails is regarded as one of the best ruby frameworks. It was the primary language in developing big projects such as Twitter and helped the language boost the community. Often referred to as “Rails,” Ruby on Rails is a web development framework with an MVC control structure and currently running its 6.1 version. The 16-year-old language has dramatically influenced the web development structures and managing databases, web pages, and other components on a web application.

More control over enum in Rails 7.1
In Rails 7.1, a new option _instance_methods is introduced, allowing developers to opt-out of the automatic generation of instance methods for enums. When enum is defined with _instance_methods: false, Rails will no longer generate methods like pending?, processed?, etc.

Ruby on Rails load testing habits
Rails isn't super opinionated about database writes, its mostly left up to developers to discover that for relational DBs you do not want to be doing a bunch of small writes all at once.
That said it specifically has tools to address this that started appearing a few years ago https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/35077
The way my team handles it is to stick Kafka in between whats generating the records (for us, a bunch of web scraping workers) and and a consumer that pulls off the Kafka queue and runs an insert when its internal buffer reaches around 50k rows.
Rails is also looking to add some more direct background type work with https://github.com/basecamp/solid_queue but this is still very new - most larger Rails shops are going to be running a second system and a gem called Sidekiq that pulls jobs out of Redis.

Continuous Deployment with GitHub Actions and Kamal
Kamal is a wonderfully simple way to deploy your applications anywhere. It will also be included by default in Rails 8. Kamal is trivial, but I don’t recommend using it on your development machine.
