Fireworq vs Sidekiq vs delayed_job
Overview
Detailed Comparison
Sidekiq uses threads to handle many jobs at the same time in the same process. It does not require Rails but will integrate tightly with Rails 3/4 to make background processing dead simple. | Delayed_job (or DJ) encapsulates the common pattern of asynchronously executing longer tasks in the background. It is a direct extraction from Shopify where the job table is responsible for a multitude of core tasks. | Fireworq is a lightweight, high-performance job queue system available from any programming language which can talk HTTP. It works with a single binary without external dependencies. |
