An Introduction to Solid Queue for Ruby on Rails
I like Solid Queue and the direction things are heading, but its hard to overlook the performance. A system that does tens to hundreds of thousands of jobs/s on Sidekiq + Redis, will now get bottlenecked by transactional performance with solid queue / PG - https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/wiki/Active-Job#performan...

Outgrowing Postgres: Handling increased user concurrency
If you’re developing in Node, BullMQ has been rising in popularity as a go-to solution. For Rails applications, you can use ActiveJob with backends like Sidekiq for efficient background job processing.

What are some popular background job processing libraries for Rails (e.g., Sidekiq, Delayed Job)?
Sidekiq is known for its fast and efficient processing using threads in Ruby, which allows it to handle many jobs concurrently.

Going open-source as a VC-Backed company
I'm not sure I personally agree with this, and I'm not 100% sure the developer community at-large does either...
Let's take a few examples, which I've shared elsewhere in similar discussions:
- GitLab: Open Source or Open Core? Most would say Open Source, but (I assume) you would argue Open Core [0].
- Plausible: Open Source or Open Core? They say Open Source, but it's actually Open Core [1].
- Cal.com: Open Source or Open Core? They say Open Source, but once again, Open Core [2].
- Posthog: Open Source or Open Core? They say Open Source, still Open Core [3].
- Sidekiq: Open Source or Open Core? Once again: Open Core [4].
Yet, every dev I know would consider these projects Open Source. So there's a disconnect somewhere.
Under this mindset, very few open source startups are actually open source, yet everybody says they are?
I'm not trying to argue either way; I'm trying to point out a disconnect here.

Persistent Redis Connections in Sidekiq with Async::Redis: A Deep Dive.
Okay, back to our Rails app. In our app, the lifetime should be the whole Sidekiq process. Luckily, Sidekiq has internal documentation on how it runs. I won't copy the entire documentation here, just the part we are interested in:

How to Setup a Project That Can Host Up to 1000 Users for Free
Rollbar is a great error-tracking service. It alerts us on exceptions and errors, provides analysis tools and dashboard, so we can see, reproduce, and fix bugs quickly when something went wrong. This service has a possibility to log not only uncaught exceptions but any messages. By default, the messages are reported synchronously, but you can enable asynchronous reporting using Sidekiq, girl_friday, or Resque. Also, you can provide your own handler and a failover handler to be confident, that your error is tracked and delivered in the case of primary handler’s fail.

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
