How to run a job from a queue, put there from another application?

Question

Ruby on Rails

In other words, how to make a job specified from one application (Rails) run in another application, in another language?
I use resque, but at this moment it’s not scary to switch to the same sidekiq,
it should be possible, but I didn’t find how.

Answer 1

Job is a JSON-serialized set of arguments and a string name of the handler class.
In any convenient language, connect to redis, pull out the entry from the acc. list (the structure of the redis data is well described in the docs for both resque and sidekiq) based on the parameters and the handler class, you do what you need.
