Sidekiq is an open source working job scheduler written in Ruby.[3]
Architecture
Sidekiq uses Redis as in-memory data structure store and is written in Ruby.[4] It supports Java clients too.[4] It can be used with Resque, another Redis based job scheduler, or more commonly as a standalone product.
Sidekiq reads jobs from a Redis queue, using First In First Out (FIFO) model, process jobs. Job processing is asynchronous and allows a web thread to only serve request, rather than process heavy tasks. [5]
Reception and use
Sidekiq is described as a “well-known queue processing software”.[4]
It's used by Ruby applications needing to run tasks in background, and not in the web requests handling time, like Mastodon, Diaspora[6], GitLab and Discourse. Sidekiq is also used to submit threads to the PHASTER phage search tool.[7]
