Ask HN: Would you still choose Ruby on Rails for a startup in 2025?

Shifting to solid queue, backed by your rdbms, is more boring than using redis. Successfully deploying an app without anything but a database server is pretty powerful. Everything just works. I would say that's pretty boring :)

I long to live in your world where this is the case!

Unfortunately the migration from Sidekiq + Redis → Solid Queue has been anything but boring.

I started fresh from Rails 8, so maybe that's why I didn't deal w/ that migration problem. I'm sorry it was stressful :(

We're about to do this as well, but from resque. Got any tips to share?

TBH we backed out of it as we didn't need to make the change now.

Would love to read about it if you have a write up of the problem you encountered.
