Right now I have a Rails application hosted in Heroku and I also have the Sidekiq workers managed from there.
I am thinking on having Rails in Heroku as a client to push jobs to the Redis queue, and then have N machines that have Sidekiq daemons that get jobs from that Redis queue where rails is pushing jobs.
My question is:
Can I have several Sidekiq daemons that process jobs from that same queue? I can't find an example that specifies how to do so. I have seen sidekiq pure ruby, but I fail to see how would I write the server so that it starts fetching jobs.
(This is what actually concerns me the most) Once the job is done, how do I send the results back to Rails? I am thinking on POSTing the result via JSON. But I would appreciate any feedback on this too.
Finally, if it is possible to have several Sidekiq servers, from where should I manage all the workers/jobs/ - Set up the UI in the Rails side would be enough?
