redis/sidekiq-benchmark repository overview

⁠sidekiq-benchmark

A benchmarking tool for the Sidekiq job queue protocol, written in Rust. Measures enqueue/dequeue throughput and latency against Redis.

⁠Quick Start

docker pull redis/sidekiq-benchmark

# Start Redis
docker run -d --name redis redis:8.6

# Run benchmark
docker run --rm --link redis:redis redis/sidekiq-benchmark   --uri redis://redis:6379   --jobs 100000   --concurrency 50

⁠Features

• Sidekiq protocol: faithful implementation of Sidekiq job format (JSON payloads, queue lists)
• High throughput: built in Rust for minimal overhead
• Concurrency control: tune producer and consumer worker counts independently
• Latency metrics: p50/p99/p999 end-to-end job latency
• Redis 8.6+ compatible: tested against latest Redis releases

⁠Use Cases

• Baseline Redis throughput for Sidekiq-style workloads
• Evaluate Redis version upgrades for background job systems
• Capacity planning for high-volume job queues
