I have 2 kinds of queues in Sidekiq: "default/low" - to cater web requests and "background_queue" - to run background processes like fetching tweets. I want to run "background_queue" workers on a different dyno, so that it doesn't block any web requests during that period.

My procfile looks like this.

web: bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb
worker:  bundle exec sidekiq
background_worker:  bundle exec sidekiq

I see that i have successfully created background worker dyno in heroku.

So, how do i run jobs on background_worker ?

  • The problem got resolved. The following changes in the procfile did the job for me: `worker: bundle exec sidekiq -q default -q low` `background_worker: bundle exec sidekiq -q background_queue` Added background_queue to sidekiq.yml with relevant priority. – viveksura Sep 26 '16 at 13:01
