Pro API

Sidekiq Pro adds a few API extensions which execute Lua scripts directly in the Redis process for maximum performance.

• Sidekiq::Queue#delete_job - takes a JID and deletes the corresponding job from the given queue, if it exists. Returns the deleted job or nil.

jid = MyWorker.perform_async
queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new
queue.delete_job(jid)

• Sidekiq::Queue#delete_by_class - takes a class and deletes all corresponding jobs from the queue. Returns the number of jobs deleted. The Standard API notes apply to this method.

MyWorker.perform_async
queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new
queue.delete_by_class(MyWorker)

Pausing Queues

Sidekiq Pro allows you to pause processing on any queue via the API:

q = Sidekiq::Queue.new('critical')
q.pause!
q.paused? # => true
q.unpause!
