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.

About

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.

Key Features

Automated SolidQueue configuration for database-backed background processing
18 GitHub stars
Real-time WebSocket integration via SolidCable for ActionCable features
Strict architectural enforcement of 'Team Rule #1' to eliminate Redis dependencies
Mission Control dashboard implementation for visual job monitoring and management
SolidCache setup for persistent application-level caching without Redis or Memcached

Use Cases

Bootstrapping new Rails 8 applications with production-ready, zero-dependency background work
Setting up persistent email delivery systems and real-time features that survive server restarts
Migrating legacy Rails applications from Sidekiq and Redis to a simplified database-backed stack
