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.

Valkey Is Rapidly Overtaking Redis
One of the challenges Redis labs here have is that there's very little reason for their userbase to stay loyal to them.
antirez retired from Redis development a few years ago.
From https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors it looks like activity since he left has been mostly from people who didn't overlap with him much.
Redis Labs have not shown themselves to be outstanding stewards of the project as far as I can tell. Why shouldn't people support the fork?
