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.

Mike Perham of Sidekiq: “If you build something valuable, charge money for it.”
The free version acts exactly like Resque, the previous market leader in Ruby background jobs. If it was good enough reliability for GitHub and Shopify to use for years, it was good enough for Sidekiq OSS too.
Here's Resque literally using `lpop` which is destructive and will lose jobs.

Add web scraping data into the database at regular intervals [ruby & ror]
You can use a background job queue like Resque to scrape and process data in the background, and a scheduler like resque-scheduler to schedule jobs to run your scraper periodically.

How to run a really long task from a Rails web request
So how do we trigger such a long-running process from a Rails request? The first option that comes to mind is a background job run by some of the queuing back-ends such as Sidekiq, Resque or DelayedJob, possibly governed by ActiveJob. While this would surely work, the problem with all these solutions is that they usually have a limited number of workers available on the server and we didn’t want to potentially block other important background tasks for so long.
-
Building a dynamic staging platform
Background jobs are another limitation. Since only the Aha! web service runs in a dynamic staging, the host environment's workers would process any Resque jobs that were sent to the shared Redis instance. If your branch hadn't updated any background-able methods, this would be no big deal. But if you were hoping to test changes to these methods, you would be out of luck.

Autoscaling Redis applications on Kubernetes 🚀🚀
Redis Lists are quite versatile and used as the backbone for implementing scalable architectural patterns such as consumer-producer (based on queues), where producer applications push items into a List, and consumers (also called workers) process those items. Popular projects such as resque, sidekiq, celery etc. use Redis behind the scenes to implement background jobs.

Show HN: Sunnybox – An Email API for Effortless IMAP Integration
When I started with https://emailengine.app, a similar product, I also considered releasing it as a SaaS. But looking at the competition, it seemed too complicated for me (just look at the compliance list for Nylas Email API https://www.nylas.com/security/#compliance ). Will be interesting to see how it works out for you. Good luck!

Mike Perham of Sidekiq: “If you build something valuable, charge money for it.”
EmailEngine has all the code public [1], even though it is not open-source but is source-available. Some core parts I even published under the MIT license, like the IMAP client library I built from scratch to serve the special requirements EmailEngine has for IMAP access [2]
My thinking has always been that those who try to hack the license validation stuff and replace the missing build pipeline were never going to be my customers in the first place, so every second I would spend on them is a wasted effort.

Email: Explained from First Principles
Well, I for one, hope that email stays as complicated as described in the post. Otherwise my project that simplifies access to email accounts (https://emailengine.app) would get no traction :D

Professional / enterprise experience with EmailEngine?
I'd like to know if anyone here can share some experience using https://emailengine.app in a larger environment, e.g. managing / watching 100-200 email accounts and processing ~50.000-100.000 mails per day?

Why is the JavaScript ecosystem like this
I had the same issues when I started with https://emailengine.app - just like Ghost, it’s an app written in Nodejs. I tried multiple distribution options at first and finally went with complete self containment. All modules are pre-installed during the publishing step and thus the user never needs to run npm. Or if you download the “compiled” single binary version you don’t even need node as it’s bundled with the binary (I use the pkg module to bundle these executables). So upgrading is just downloading and replacing the old version files with new ones.
The dowside - no sane way to use compiled dependencies, everything has to be vanilla javascript.
