Can I monitor background jobs with this skill?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for Mission Control: Jobs, a web-based dashboard for monitoring, retrying, and managing your background processing queues.

How does it handle job failures?

It implements standard ActiveJob retry strategies, including exponential backoff and custom error handling, all tracked within your application's database.

What is the Solid Stack in Rails 8?

The Solid Stack is a suite of database-backed tools including SolidQueue for jobs, SolidCache for caching, and SolidCable for WebSockets, designed to eliminate external dependencies like Redis.

Does this support WebSocket features?

Yes, it includes configuration for SolidCable, allowing ActionCable to function using your database instead of a Redis pub/sub system.

Why does this skill prohibit Sidekiq and Redis?

The skill follows an opinionated 'Zero External Dependency' rule to simplify deployment, reduce infrastructure costs, and ensure all data remains persistent within the primary database system.

Database Management

Configures database-backed background jobs, caching, and WebSockets using the Rails 8 Solid Stack while strictly excluding Redis and Sidekiq.

This skill automates the configuration of Rails 8 applications to use SolidQueue, SolidCache, and SolidCable, adhering to a strict 'no-Redis' architecture. It provides patterns for setting up multi-database environments for background processing, implementing exponential backoff retry strategies, and configuring Mission Control dashboards for job monitoring. By leveraging database-backed infrastructure, it simplifies deployment workflows and ensures that jobs and cache survive server restarts without the overhead of external memory-store dependencies.
