scheduling sidekiq conditionally

[skynine]

Hi,

I need to schedule sidekiq worker based on updated_at of a record like below:

once a particular method returns success for a record in database spawn worker once after this:

- if `updated_at` less than 24 hours before `now` => worker should be spawned every hour

- if `updated_at` greater than 24 hours before `now` => worker should be spawned every 12 hours

- if `updated_at` more than 2 weeks ago => worker should not spawned anymore

I was looking at `sidekiq_retry_in` to accomplish this. but im not sure how to introduce the updated_at variable in this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

The closest thing Sidekiq has for that is this "dynamic jobs" section.

I don't know if Dynamic Jobs really fits my case. I may be missing something important here though.

But is this an option:

once the above mentioned method returns success:

- worker.perform(updated_at)

- within worker at end of perform:

   - if `updated_at` less than 24 hours before `now` => spawn worker after an hour

   - if `updated_at` greater than 24 hours before `now` =>  spawn worker after 12 hours

   -  if `updated_at` more than 2 weeks ago => do nothing

Im new to workers or sidekiq. so please forgive my ignorance.

Thanks

It sounds like basic scheduled jobs would work fine.
