Sidekiq

Asynchronously handles background tasks with multiple threads with three architectural components:

• Sidekiq client is a ruby process, that receives jobs to be handled, via Sidekiq::Client.push
  • return a hash representing the job, which is serialized to JSON and pushed into a queue in Redis
• Redis is the persistent store for holding runtime and historical data
  • stores all job and operational data
• Sidekiq Servers pull jobs from the queue and process them

Jobs, should be idempotent and transactional (think databases)
