==== Separate Services ====
 
We want to split up sidekiq into multiple processes using separate systemd service files. We want to a) make the site responsive by processing high-priority queues quickly but also b) use all our available resources by not having processes sit idle. So we give each of the main queues one service file that has that queue as the top prioriry, and mix the other queues in as secondary priorities - sidekiq will try and process items from the first queue first, second queue second, and so on.
 
So we allocate 25 threads (and 25 db connections) each to four service files with the following priority orders.
 
* default, ingress, pull, push
* ingress, default, push, pull
* push, pull, default, ingress
* pull, push, default, ingress
 
And two additional service files that give 5 threads to the lower-priority queues:
 
* mailers
* scheduler
 
(each service file looks like this:)
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">
Environment="DB_POOL=25"
ExecStart=/home/mastodon/.rbenv/shims/bundle exec sidekiq -q push -q pull -q default -q ingress -c 25
</syntaxhighlight>
 
and is located in <code>/etc/systemd/system</code> with the name of its primary queue (eg. <code>/etc/systemd/system/mastodon-sidekiq-default.service</code>)
 
Then we make one meta-service file <code>mastodon-sidekiq.service</code> that can control the others:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">
[Unit]
Description=mastodon-sidekiq
After=network.target
Wants=mastodon-sidekiq-default.service
Wants=mastodon-sidekiq-ingress.service
Wants=mastodon-sidekiq-mailers.service
Wants=mastodon-sidekiq-pull.service
Wants=mastodon-sidekiq-push.service
Wants=mastodon-sidekiq-scheduler.service
 
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/echo "mastodon-sidekiq exists only to collectively start and stop mastodon-sidekiq-* instances, shimmi>
RemainAfterExit=yes
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</syntaxhighlight>
 
and make the subsidiary service dependent on the main service
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target mastodon-sidekiq.service
</syntaxhighlight>
