Simple Scheduler
A scheduling add-on for Sidekiq and Heroku Scheduler that enables jobs to run at any interval without a clock process.
What is Simple Scheduler?
Simple Scheduler is a Ruby gem that extends Heroku Scheduler and Sidekiq to schedule recurring background jobs at custom intervals. It solves the limitation of Heroku Scheduler, which only supports 10-minute, hourly, or daily intervals, by allowing jobs to run at any frequency while maintaining reliability during server downtime.
Rails developers using Heroku and Sidekiq who need flexible, reliable scheduling for recurring tasks like nightly reports, weekly payroll, or frequent data syncs.
It provides a simple, configuration-driven approach to job scheduling without requiring a separate clock process, ensuring jobs run even during outages by queuing them ahead, making it production-ready and maintenance-friendly.
