Sharing Sidekiq between two apps

I am looking for a solution for communicating between two Rails app. I have two servers, one for web, and one for analytics. When an user signs up via web server, this server needs to notify analytic server to create some result (which may take a few minutes), then get the result from it.

Is it possible to have a Sidekiq server that can access to two servers at the same time (without setting up API)? How should I go about it?

Solution

  • Sidekiq uses Redis to store the jobs. You could have a shared redis database where you:

    • push data into redis from one app
    • pull data from redis from one other app
