Mastodon runs on Rails and currently utilises and relies on Redis and Sidekiq. I’ve heard redis/sidekiq adds some additional complication and workload to setting up and maintaining a mastodon instance especially for those less familiar with the stack.

I’d love some opinions from those with any insight. Would it benefit the Mastodon project to switch across to Solid Queue generally or as a default? Or is mastodon one of those use cases where the current Redis/Sidekiq setup really is more suitable?

Please explain your reasoning :)
