Antoine Leclercq will be presenting his experience with building a background job processor from scratch.

From Antoine:

"What is a background job processor? How does it work? Working with Rails, & using background job tools (such as Sidekiq) left me with these unanswered questions As a remedy I decided to build one from scratch! What better way to learn & understand than by doing?

In my presentation I will talk about the following topics:

building a background job processor from scratch

working with concurrency & parallelism

performance considerations of multithreading vs creating multiple processes

what queueing system to use & why

the impact of using JRuby with such a tool
