Background Worker service exits after a while

1

Hello,

I have a background worker service that uses Rails’ ActiveJob backed by Delayed Job. The Start Command is bundle exec rails jobs:work.

The service deploys and starts properly without errors. Yet, the rails jobs:work process exits about a minute later:

Feb 25 10:54:19 AM Your service is live :tada:
Feb 25 10:54:20 AM ==> Starting service with ‘bundle exec rails jobs:work’
Feb 25 10:55:20 AM [Worker(host:–redacted-- pid:69)] Starting job worker

Consulting the documentation and looking at the corresponding example makes me believe that the Start Command is correct.

In addition, the Delayed Job documentation mentions two ways to start a process:

  • bin/delayed_job start which requires the daemons gem
  • rails jobs:work, which I prefer as it does not require additional dependencies

Why does the Start Command exit? What am I missing?

Kind regards,
-Y

Issue is resolved.
