I can definitely say that RabbitMQ (and the awesome bunny ruby library) is doing the heavy lifting.

Batch handling - is actually "prefetch" in RabbitMQ/AMQP. Error reporting - via logging, and a "dead letter mailbox" (called a dead-letter-exchange in RabbitMQ) which is a great enterprise integration pattern for properly handling errors and retries in jobs.

RabbitMQ does the heavy lifting in another surprising facet - the UI. The management UI is excellent and at some point in time I decided not to compete with it by creating my own UI (you have to pick your fights :).

Here's some more info about the management plugin for RabbitMQ.

The thing about Sidekiq is the management is closer to my app, but I'd of course need to look into Rabbit's UI before making any decisions.

I suspect that if this project takes off someone will put together a front end that mirrors Sidekiq's in short order.
