Back in the day Id always have redis around for my rails cache. We already had it for cache so also using it for job queues and sidekiq was a no brainer. These days with m.2 disks and database based cacheing (solid cache) and first class support in Rails, and postgres able to handle the job queues and things like GoodJob the choice isn’t so clear cut to “just use redis”. I won’t be replacing sidekiq in our current production app any time soon but any new projects would get some serious consideration.
