I am creating a rails app that helps move data between two sites and I wanted to keep the users informed of the complex, and slow, background work that was being performed outside the http request response cycle. The functionality that comes with Sidekiq Pro was a half decent solution but I wanted the progress on the front-end to show something more detailed than something like 16/42 units of work complete, especially as some units of work were far more time consuming than others.
The result is Sidekiq::TrackableBatch[0]. Check out the demo app[1] that shows how it could be used in the context of a e-commerce site. The demo (source[2]) uses action cable to update the UI.

I hope somebody finds it useful.
