SolidQueue Plus is a Ruby gem that extends the functionality of Rails 8's Solid Queue system with:

• ✅ Retry middleware with exponential backoff
• 📣 Slack or Email failure notifications
• 📊 Lightweight Rails engine dashboard for job monitoring

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'solid_queue_plus', github: 'sukendhar/solid_queue_plus'

Then run:

bundle install

Add this to an initializer:

SolidQueue.before_perform do |job|
  SolidQueuePlus::RetryMiddleware.new.call(job) do
    job.perform_now
  end
end

Customize retry logic in RetryMiddleware.

Set your Slack webhook URL:

export SOLID_QUEUE_SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/your/webhook/url

Edit SolidQueuePlus::Notifier to integrate with:

• Slack (slack-notifier)
• Email (via ActionMailer, optional)

Mount the dashboard in config/routes.rb:

mount SolidQueuePlus::Engine => "/solid_queue_plus"

Then open http://localhost:3000/solid_queue_plus to view live job status.
