Sidekiq – simple efficient background jobs for Ruby

Sidekiq offers simple, efficient background jobs for Ruby.

Sidekiq is a popular, high-performance background job processing framework for Ruby, commonly used in Ruby on Rails applications to handle tasks asynchronously (e.g., sending emails, data processing) without delaying web requests.

Sidekiq uses threads to handle many jobs at the same time in the same process. Sidekiq can be used by any Ruby application.
