In this interview with Rosa Gutierrez of 37signals, Rosa elaborates on her work, particularly her contributions to Solid Queue and its implementation alongside Active Job. She describes the motivations behind developing Solid Queue, addressing performance issues with existing systems like Resque, and transitioning some workloads to database-backed queues.
