  • Release Radar Β· July 2024: Major updates from the open source community
    11 projects | dev.to | 2 Aug 2024
    I wish I got told "good job" πŸ‘ every single day. Rather than telling you what a good job you did, GoodJob provides a multithreaded, Postgres-based, Active Job backend for Ruby on Rails. This newest version resolves deferred database schema changes, and removes deprecated behaviour. It's been two years since the last major version update, and there are over 100 patch releases from 88 contributors including new batches, bulk enqueuing, labelled jobs, job throttling, dark mode for the web dashboard, and tonnes more. Read about them all in the GoodJob Discussion post.

  • Tuning Rails application structure
    2 projects | dev.to | 15 Feb 2024
    Once we are done with default gems, should we look into something we usually use? That's jwt because we need session tokens for our API. Next comes our one and only sidekiq. For a long period of time it was the best in town solution for background jobs. Now we could also consider solid_queue or good_job. In development and testing groups we need rspec-rails, factory_bot_rails and ffaker. Dealing with money? Start doing it properly from the beginning! Do not forget to install money-rails. Once everything is added to the Gemfile do not forget to trigger bundle install.

  • Pg_later: Asynchronous Queries for Postgres
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Aug 2023
    Idk about pgagent but any table is a resilient queue with the multiple locks available in pg along with some SELECT pg_advisory_lock or SELECT FOR UPDATE queries, and/or LISTEN/NOTIFY.

    Several bg job libs are built around native locking functionality

    > Relies upon Postgres integrity, session-level Advisory Locks to provide run-once safety and stay within the limits of schema.rb, and LISTEN/NOTIFY to reduce queuing latency.

    The suggestion from /u/tofus is a good one. If you are already using redis as your ActionCable adapter I would use sidekiq. If not and you're using postgres I would consider https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job
