SolidQueue Batches: evolution and architecture
When Rosa first released SolidQueue, she did a fantastic talk on the internals of how it works and what trade-offs she made when building it. You should give it a watch. It’s where I first learned how the SolidQueue approach works, and why it performs as well as it does.
I wrote the batch …
