Sidekiq-Cron is a Ruby gem that adds cron-style job scheduling to Sidekiq, running a scheduler thread alongside Sidekiq workers. It supports cron notation and natural-language schedules via Fugit, and safely handles multiple Sidekiq processes and nodes without duplicate scheduling.

Use cases

• run a background job every hour in a Rails app
• schedule recurring Sidekiq workers with cron expressions
• periodic cleanup tasks in Ruby applications
• enqueue jobs at scheduled times across multiple Sidekiq nodes
• manage scheduled jobs with enable/disable status
• use natural language schedules like 'every day at noon'

When to choose

• you already use Sidekiq and need scheduled/recurring jobs
• you run multiple Sidekiq processes or nodes and need deduplicated scheduling
• you want cron or natural-language schedule syntax in a Ruby/Rails app

When to avoid

• you don't use Sidekiq or Redis-backed background processing
• you need sub-minute scheduling precision
• you use a non-Ruby stack
