I made the switch on a new project and I don't regret it but it's still early days software despite the marketing. Concurrency control is fantastic, but it doesn't always work. I've woken up to see all threads occupied with a job that should be concurrency of 1.

I've also run into issues where a db connection pool is filled up and solid queue silently fails. No error or logs, just stops polling forever until manual restart. Far from ideal.

But, I can live with it. I am going for minimal maintenance, and the ability to run solid queue under puma inside rails on cloud run is just so easy. Having ~3 solid queue related issues a year is acceptable for my use case, but that doesn't mean it will be ok for others.
