Replace Backgroundrb

Open mtylty opened this issue 12 years ago • 4 comments

Backgroundrb is shitty, should we begin considering an alternative? Maybe the next milestone?

Backgroundrb isn't actively maintained anymore (AFAIK) but it is still doing its job. What benefits you're seeing in this? What are the alternatives?

I vote for Sidekiq. Very simple and efficient. Moreover it seems to be very close to a drop-in replacement for backgroundrb.

As far as I know it's on of the best for I/O issues!

I've used sidekiq for some time. It's a bitch when it comes to configuring it (the yml file is not supported completely) but it's very stable as a service. Also it could be a problem since it's multithreaded so the code should be double checked.
