Rack apps mounted in Rails — how to protect access to them?

• Sidekiq

  91 12,950 8.9 Ruby

  Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby

  

In production application you'll want to protect access to this Sidekiq dashboard. Let's assume this Rails application is API-only. There's no Devise nor any other authentication library of your choice there. Fair scenario to rely on HTTP Basic Auth, as illustrated with wonderfully commented example from Sidekiq wiki:

• Rack

  23 4,837 7.4 Ruby

  A modular Ruby web server interface.

  

Let's transform this example a bit to not rely on Sidekiq::Web.use. That's very convenient to provide such interface from a library. I want to show you something else here — Sidekiq::Web is a Rack application and can be treated as such.
