2 Amazon AWS Elastic Beanstalk extensions you need to work with Sidekiq

What happens if the process dies? you are not using a process manager like upstart, systemd or supervisord.

We have al these scripts to manage sidekiq properly.

      respawn
      respawn limit 3 30

      # TERM is sent by sidekiqctl when stopping sidekiq. Without declaring these as
      # normal exit codes, it just respawns.
      normal exit 0 TERM

      # Upstart waits 5 seconds by default to kill a process. Increase timeout to
      # give sidekiq process enough time to exit.
      kill timeout 30
