Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq: Which Is Better?

• Sidekiq

  91 12,950 8.9 Ruby

  Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby

  

The Enterprise version comes with yet more features. If you are looking for something that a regular Sidekiq installation can't solve, explore the paid Sidekiq features.

• Delayed::Job

  10 4,802 1.6 Ruby

  Database based asynchronous priority queue system -- Extracted from Shopify

  

Several gems support job queues and background processing in the Rails world — Delayed Job and Sidekiq being the two most popular ones.

• delayed_job_web

  2 476 1.5 Ruby

  Resque like web interface for delayed job

Delayed Job does not have an inbuilt Web UI, but delayed_job_web gives access to a basic Web UI with similar features to Sidekiq's.

• heroku-buildpack-jemalloc

  3 239 2.5 Shell

  Heroku buildpack that installs the Jemalloc memory allocator

Using jemalloc instead of regular malloc helps too. The exact way to do this depends on the platform you use, but it is pretty simple on Heroku. Just set heroku-buildpack-jemalloc as the first buildpack (ahead of the heroku/ruby buildpack).
