Queue Sidekiq job on Rails app start

I need to add a job to the Sidekiq queue when my Rails app starts, to update some data, but I don't know where is the best place to do it.

Right now, I've wrote this on my application.rb:

class Application < Rails::Application
    config.after_initialize do
        MyWorker.perform_async
    end
end

But the problem is that when I run the sidekiq command it will also load the Rails stack, so I'll end up with 2 jobs on the queue.

Is there any other way of doing that? This is my first big Rails app and my first time with Sidekiq, so I don't know if I'm not understanding things correctly. That might not be the right way of doing that.

Thanks!

Solution

  • A better solution would be to create an initializer config/initializers/sidekiq.rb

    Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
    Rails.application.config.after_initialize do
        # You code goes here
    end
end
