Autoscaling for Solid Queue and Shoryuken
We’ve expanded our Ruby integration to include Solid Queue and Shoryuken!
Solid Queue
For those that missed the announcement at Rails World 2023, Solid Queue is a background job system built directly by the 37Signals team. It’s database-backed and, like Solid Cache, born of the idea that modern SSD’s are fast enough for caching and queueing to be storage-driven rather than memory-driven. Solid Queue is still very new on the scene, but if you’re using it, we’ve got you covered!
Check out our Ruby gem for installation instructions.
Shoryuken
For those that haven’t heard of Shoryuken, it’s a multi-threaded background job system built on Amazon SQS for job / queue storage rather than Redis. Think Sidekiq, but on SQS!
This can be tremendously useful for both Rails and other Ruby apps that are running in the AWS ecosystem, already running SQS assets! Especially now that we support autoscaling the Amazon ECS runtime, adding Shoryuken support allows us to further support our AWS customers in unique ways.
