You can use Sidekiq with Upstash Redis. Sidekiq is a Ruby based queue library with a Redis-based queue storage so you can use with Upstash Redis.
Example Application
bundle init
bundle add sidekiq
require "sidekiq"
require "sidekiq/api"
connection_url = ENV['UPSTASH_REDIS_LINK']
Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
config.redis = {url: connection_url}
end
Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
config.redis = {url: connection_url}
end
class EmailService
include Sidekiq::Worker
def perform(id, type)
puts "Emailed to: " + id + ": " + "'Congrats on " + type + " plan.'"
end
end
def updateEmail(id, newType)
jobFound = false
a = Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new
a.each do |job|
if job.args[0] == id
job.delete
jobFound = true
end
end
if jobFound
EmailService.perform_async(id, ("starting using our service and upgrading it to " + newType))
else
EmailService.perform_async(id, ("upgrading to " + newType))
end
end
def sendEmail(id, type)
case type
when "free"
EmailService.perform_in("10", id, "free")
when "paid"
EmailService.perform_in("5", id, "paid")
when "enterprise"
EmailService.perform_async(id, "enterprise")
when "enterprise10k"
EmailService.perform_async(id, "enterprise10k")
else
puts "Only plans are: `free`, `paid` and `enterprise`"
end
end
def clearSchedules()
Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new.clear
Sidekiq::Queue.new.clear
end
Billing Optimization
Sidekiq accesses Redis regularly, even when there is no queue activity. This can incur extra costs because Upstash charges per request. With feedbacks of Sidekiq users, we have revised our billing algorithm. Now, Upstash detects Sidekiq usage and charges only for script calls instead of each Redis operation for Sidekiq operations. This will avoid increased command count and high costs due to Sidekiq library.
We have decided to charge only for script calls instead of all requests. This special pricing is for Sidekiq users. If you use Sidekiq with Upstash Redis, you will only be charged for script calls, not regular requests. This will significantly reduce your costs.
Once your billing is in optimized mode, you will see a leaf icon in the console like below:
This mechanism is enabled for all tiers except free databases.
