Sidekiq.js

Sidekiq.js provides simple, efficient background jobs for the Node.js platform.

OSS Installation

npm install sidekiqjs

Pro and Enterprise Installation

Because npm does not support multiple sources for packages, it's impossible to distribute private commercial packages without paying an large amount to NPM Inc. Upon purchase, you will receive an email with a private url. Initial installation requires you to run this:

wget YOUR_PRIVATE_URL > BGZ
npm install BGZ

For upgrades, sidekiqjs provides an upgrade skup binary to pull down new versions of the commercial packages and place them in the node_modules directory. skup is meant to be much, much dumber than npm: you can supply the exact version you wish to upgrade to or let it default to latest. It does not try to perform any semver magic so beware major version jumps if you use latest! The form is skup [PRODUCT] [VERSION|latest]:

> skup pro 1.1.1
> skup ent latest
> skup ent # defaults to latest
