Sidekiq with Anthony Panozzo
Channel: Indy.rb
Date: 18/07/2017

In this presentation, you'll learn about why you might want to consider an asynchronous worker queue for your web application. We'll talk about some Ruby frameworks for doing so, and then cover Sidekiq in depth. We'll start with basic usage and testing of Sidekiq jobs. To provide more context, we will run through a quick overview of Redis (which Sidekiq is built on) and what it can be used for. Finally, we will explore some useful Sidekiq Pro extensions and point out some important things to watch out for.

Hi, I'm Anthony Panozzo. I work as a Senior Software Engineer at OurHealth, and have used Sidekiq on a couple of different projects over the last few years. One time I woke up and had a million jobs in a queue and was very concerned.
