Sneakers is a high-performance background processing framework for Ruby built on RabbitMQ, letting developers define workers that consume queue messages for I/O and CPU intensive workloads. The original repo has been abandoned; the community continuation lives on as ruby-amqp/kicks.
Use cases
- process background jobs in ruby with rabbitmq
- consume rabbitmq queue messages with worker classes
- run cpu-intensive tasks asynchronously in ruby
- build a message-driven worker pipeline
- offload slow tasks from a rails app to a queue
When to choose
- you are already running sneakers in production and need reference material
- you want a lightweight rabbitmq worker framework for ruby
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the maintained fork ruby-amqp/kicks instead
- you need a database-backed job queue like sidekiq-style redis processing
- you need active support or updates from the original author
