Sidekiq vs TaskBotJS: What are the differences?
Developers describe Sidekiq as "Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby". 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. On the other hand, TaskBotJS is detailed as "JavaScript/TypeScript job processing framework". TaskBotJS is a job queue and processing service for NodeJS applications. Using Redis as a background store, TaskBotJS allows you to offload long-running jobs away from your web application and handles all the rough edges involved: job scheduling, handling failures and retries, priority queueing, and the works.
Sidekiq and TaskBotJS can be primarily classified as "Background Processing" tools.
Sidekiq and TaskBotJS are both open source tools. Sidekiq with 9.68K GitHub stars and 1.67K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than TaskBotJS with 491 GitHub stars and 13 GitHub forks.
