# RabbitMQ is more than a Sidekiq replacement!

We are used to Sidekiq being the defacto norm for a queue service in the Ruby
ecosystem. If you replace Sidekiq and Redis with RabbitMQ you may find yourself
with a few less problems, and more tools to scale your app.

This talk will go into problems with using Sidekiq and Redis as a queue service,
migrating to RabbitMQ, and using RabbitMQ’s features to scale your Ruby apps a
bit easier.
