Background Jobs

Brut provides little direct support for background jobs. Currently, Brut recommends Sidekiq, since it is battle-tested, well-supported, and open source.

When you set up your Brut app, it should ask if you want Sidekiq support and add the necessary configuraiton.

It will expect jobs in app/src/back_end/jobs.

WARNING

The way Sidekiq is configured with Brut is effective and reliable, but it is complex. It currently involves several moving parts to make it work properly. This will be an area for improvement.
