Sucker Punch is a single-process Ruby asynchronous processing library. This
|
|
reduces costs of hosting on a service like Heroku along with the memory
|
|
footprint of having to maintain additional jobs if hosting on a dedicated
|
|
server. All queues can run within a single application (eg. Rails, Sinatra,
|
|
etc.) process.
|
|
|
|
Sucker Punch is perfect for asynchronous processes like emailing, data
|
|
crunching, or social platform manipulation. No reason to hold up a user when you
|
|
can do these things in the background within the same process as your web
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
Sucker Punch is built on top of concurrent-ruby. Each job is setup as a pool,
|
|
which equates to its own queue with individual workers working against the jobs.
|
|
Unlike most other background processing libraries, Sucker Punch's jobs are
|
|
stored in memory. The benefit to this is there is no additional infrastructure
|
|
requirement (ie. database, redis, etc.). However, if the web processes are
|
|
restarted with jobs remaining in the queue, they will be lost. For this reason,
|
|
Sucker Punch is generally recommended for jobs that are fast and non-mission
|
|
critical (ie. logs, emails, etc.).
