Redmine

Sidekiq's performance and compatibility issues under Windows are indeed a common challenge, as it's designed to run primarily on Unix-based systems. Here are a few alternative approaches you might consider:

1. Running Sidekiq on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
Pros: You can run a lightweight Linux environment inside Windows, making Sidekiq more compatible. WSL2 provides better performance than the original WSL, allowing you to run Sidekiq as if on a native Linux system.
Cons: Additional setup and configuration are required, and there may still be some occasional compatibility hiccups.
2. Docker
Pros:
Cons: Requires familiarity with Docker and managing container environments.
3. Cloud-based Sidekiq
Pros : I
Cons:
4. Alternatives to Sidekiq
And then:
Delayed Job: Doesn't rely on Redis and works directly with your database, making it more lightweight for smaller use cases, although it may not be as performant as Sidekiq for high-throughput environments.
5. Remote Linux Server for Sidekiq
Pros : I
Cons: This requires server management and may increase development complexity with remote job handling.
Would any of these approaches fit your needs?
