Description

Performing sidekiq workers with the same arguments only once. It is useful when you don't want to enqueue several jobs with the same arguments. But you should be careful with frequent jobs!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-perform_once'

Include Sidekiq::PerformOnce into your workers:

class CustomWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker, Sidekiq::PerformOnce
  #...
end

For immediatly performing use perform_once(*args) method (alias perform_once_now).
For scheduled performing use perform_once_in(delay, *args) (alias perform_once_at(time, *args)).

For example, we have CategoryIconWorker which updates category icon from its last item every time it added, but we want to update it only once per 3 minutes. So we can add after_commit on: :create callback with the following code:

CategoryIconWorker.perform_once_in(3.minutes, category_id)
