Queues

In the development and production environments, queues are backed by Redis via Sidekiq. To run the consumers:

$ bundle exec sidekiq

NOTE: The queue consumers must be restarted when the application is updated.

An interface to the queues is available by running the Sidekiq web interface:

$ bundle exec rackup sidekiq-admin.ru

This requires the SESSION_SECRET_KEY environment variable (see configuration notes).

If Redis is running somewhere other than the default port on the local machine, REDIS_URL must be set (see below).
