Monkey patches to get sidekiq to use Amazon SQS as it's job store.

Sidekiq::Sqs

This is a gem that modifies Sidekiq to use Amazon's SQS as a job store. It still requires Redis for stats and such, and worker tracking.

It works currently. There's very few tests, but we've been using it in production for a while. Still, be careful

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-sqs'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidekiq-sqs

Usage

Once the gem is required, (and aws-sdk is configured) simply do:

Sidekiq::Sqs.enable!

That'll turn it all on. Nothing else should have to change.

Caveats

• Scheduling uses SQS message timers. The amount of time you can schedule a worker must be 0 to 900 seconds (15 mins).
• Auto-retrying to insert jobs to SQS on failure (if SQS loses it's mind for a second) doesn't work. It should, but it doesn't.
• ?
