Happy 2nd Birthday Sidekiq!

2014-01-31

Let’s review some numbers, from the 1st birthday:

• 214,300 downloads
• 2144 stars
• 662 closed issues
• 266 forks
• 228 closed pull requests
• 44 versions released
• 25 Sidekiq Pro customers

Now, on the 2nd birthday:

• 1,192,259 downloads (wow, huge uptake!)
• 3535 stars
• 1420 closed issues
• 563 forks
• 380 closed pull requests
• 74 versions released
• Over 200 Sidekiq Pro customers

At this point I believe I’ve achieved my goals: build the best background job framework, bar none. With Sidekiq I try to have it all: good performance, easy setup, deep integration with an application framework like Rails and a rich set of functionality. I hope you think I was successful in my efforts.

As always, thank you to my users and keep ‘kiqing!
