Sidekiq is the most widely adopted background job processor for Ruby on Rails, using Redis and a multi-threaded architecture to execute jobs concurrently with excellent throughput.
It integrates cleanly with ActiveJob and provides a web dashboard for retries, dead jobs, and queue monitoring.
Sidekiq supports the latest versions of Rails, is actively maintained, and offers commercial support for teams that need additional features and compliance.
Actively maintained alternatives include GoodJob or Que if you prefer PostgreSQL-backed queues, and Resque or Delayed Job for simpler or legacy-compatible setups.
