Add Sidekiq and Kafka. 

Also:
+ KafkaEvent to publish arbitrary info about models, still kind of a work in progress
+ ClassificationLifecycle management moved to a sidekiq worker
+ MultiKafkaProducer Module to abstract between jruby-kafka and poseidon. 

When running jruby you'll also need to use jbundler to manage Kafka libraries. 
well - if we lose scope on customising the background configuration i'm with you! I assume this will get better as Active Job evolves.
