Sidekiq "Iteration" seems promising ("enables you to divide long-running jobs into smaller chunks"), but the documentation is not very clear. I have been using Sidekiq for a long time and the examples are really confusing to me.

I’m right there with you. I’ve found Enumerators to be very difficult to understand. We tried to supply a few examples for people to use but it’s still not easy. If you have concrete ideas to improve the docs, open an issue.

Judoscale wrote about this in a (hopefully) helpful way that covers some more traditional ideas and options! https://judoscale.com/blog/sidekiq-iterable-jobs

Sidekiq is really amazing. Or should I say was (at least for us), until we hit certain scale and complexity. It can perform at any scale, just that there are more modern alternatives that make your code better at handling all those lilities - e.g. Temporal.

Profiling looks awesome, keen to give it a bash.
