One aspect of this article that's touched on but not really explored in the article is the greater Sidekiq ecosystem. Beyond just the core Sidekiq application working well there are a host of well maintained open source add-ons to Sidekiq that are tremendously helpful. Statistics https://github.com/davydovanton/sidekiq-statistic https://github.com/davydovanton/sidekiq-statistic Failure Handling https://github.com/mhfs/sidekiq-failures https://github.com/mhfs/sidekiq-failures Unique Jobs https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs All of which also extend the web UI for Sidekiq which is incredibly useful for both debugging and having a handle on what's with your queues. Finally, if you're going to be using Sidekiq in any serious way I'd recommend Nate Berkopec's "Sidekiq in Practice" - https://nateberk.gumroad.com/l/sidekiqinpractice https://nateberk.gumroad.com/l/sidekiqinpractice Beyond being an incredibly useful resource on its own - you get access to a very active private Slack that is filled with other very helpful developers who are using Sidekiq.
