Sidekiq is a background job processing framework for Ruby. It uses threads and Redis to process jobs asynchronously, allowing web applications to handle time-consuming tasks without blocking user requests. Sidekiq provides job scheduling, retries, concurrency controls, and a web interface for monitoring. Compared to other background job systems, Sidekiq emphasizes efficiency through its multi-threaded architecture and Redis-based queue management.
