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.

solid_queue alternatives - Sidekiq and good_job

I'd say Sidekiq is the top competitor here.

Valkey Is Rapidly Overtaking Redis
There's something wrong at Redislabs, it took them over a year to get RESP3 rolled out into their hosted service, you'd expect a rollout of that to be a bit quicker when they're the owner of Redis.
It affected us when upgrading Sidekiq to version 7, which dropped support for older Redis, and their Envoy proxy setup didn't support HELLO and RESP3: https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/issues/5594

Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite
That depends on how the `maxmemory-policy` is configured, and queue systems based on Redis will tell you not to allow eviction. https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/wiki/Using-Redis#memory (it even logs a warnings if it detects your Redis is misconfigured IIRC).

3 one-person million dollar online businesses
Sidekiq https://sidekiq.org/: This one started as an open source project, once it got enough traction, the developer made a premium version of it, and makes money by selling licenses to businesses.

Choose Postgres Queue Technology
Sidekiq will drop in-progress jobs when a worker crashes. Sidekiq Pro can recover those jobs but with a large delay. Sidekiq is excellent overall but it’s not suitable for processing critical jobs with a low latency guarantee.

> I'm not sure feature withholding has traditionally worked out well in the developer space.
I think it's worked out well for Sidekiq (https://sidekiq.org). I really like their model of layering valuable features between the OSS / Pro / Enterprise licenses.

Exploring concurrent rate limiters, mutexes, semaphores
I was studying Sidekiq's page on rate limiters. The first type of rate limiting mentioned is the concurrent limiter: only n tasks are allowed to run at any point in time. Note that this is independent of time units (e.g. per second), or how long they take to run. The only limitation is the number of concurrent tasks/requests.

Organize Business Logic in Your Ruby on Rails Application
The code above isn't idempotent. If you run it twice, it will create two copies, which is probably not what you intended. Why is this important? Because most backend job processors like Sidekiq don't make any guarantees that your jobs will run exactly once.

Breaking the 300 barrier
As we use Puma as our webserver for our rails application, I quickly went to Puma's config file which typically resides in config/puma.rb. The config was set as

Would you consider Rails as stable nowadays ?
They do! It's in the first section of the readme on the repo:

Write your own Domain Specific Language in Ruby
That doesn't mean one excludes the other. Gems like Puma use the instance_eval method for their configuration file.
