Shitekiq

Welcome to Shitekiq. Like Sidekiq, but with less features.

Backend for background processing jobs.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'shitekiq'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install shitekiq

For Rails, create a shitekiq.rb initializer file and set your backend and pool size:

  Shitekiq.configure do |config|
    config.pool_size = 3 # default to 5
    config.backend = Shitekiq::Backend::Redis.new # default to ruby Queue.new
  end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/julienpierlot/shitekiq.
