    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.

    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.
