# Background Job Processing

> A curated stack collection by [@builtonrails](https://builtonrails.com/@builtonrails)

Pick your queue - from database-backed to Redis-powered options.

## LLM Context

```markdown
You are setting up background jobs in Rails. Solid Queue is the Rails 8 default (database-backed). Sidekiq is faster but needs Redis. Good Job is a solid middle ground.
```

## Stacks

1. **Solid Queue** (Background)
   - Rails 8 default - uses your database, no Redis
2. **Sidekiq** (Background)
   - Fast and battle-tested - requires Redis
3. **Good Job** (Background)
   - Database-backed like Solid Queue, great dashboard
4. **Delayed Job** (Background)
   - The original - simple but slower
