Sidekiq dynamic priority by chosing your queue at runtime

Dynamic Sidekiq priority job

By default sidekiq uses “Queue” to prioritize jobs: https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Advanced-Options Then you can configure workers to use “high priority” queue.

But can we dynamically decide which queue at runtime? Instead of YourWorker.perform_async(arg1, arg2), there’s a low-level API that you can use:

Sidekiq::Client.push( {
 'class' => YourWorker,
 'queue' => your_queue,
 'args' => [arg1, arg2]
})

That way you can decide which queue to use, at runtime.
