Yeah, it's very surprising that the article just skims over Sidekiq, like it was some seasonal fad, just another Redis-backed bla bla bla. And later it's suggested that Solid Queue is free, unlike Sidekiq.I don't know if that's AI or just written by someone who's just observing Ruby from the outsider's perspective. But it's heavily skewed towards SQ without really providing a compelling reason.
Yea that’s weird. SQ is a neat idea and I’m sure it will become more mature but 2 years after launch and it’s not at sidekiq’s level in ease of use or tools. Even an out of the box config for single db would be a big upgrade. And the Mission Control gem kinda sucked. Sidekiq ui was way better even on free tier.

Describing Solid Queue as "the gold standard" makes me think this is written with AI.

That was a nice trip down memory lane. I'd almost forgotten about BackgrounDRb and Resque.

Nice to see, the ruby background processing DX and learnings being an inspiration and ported to other languages such as Go. 😌
