Description
I've been using Sidekiq for more than a decade and have made a ton of mistakes along my journey from being the second engineer at a tiny startup to becoming acquired by a huge company over the past 10 years. I aim to share my operational experience, architectural advice, and how I got out of sticky situations when I made poor choices.
