Should we continue to use Sidekiq as our preferred queuing backend?

The upcoming release of Rails 8 is slated to use Solid Queue as the default queuing backend.

We currently default to Sidekiq.

Should we continue to use Sidekiq as our preferred queuing backend, or, should we use the new Rails default?

If we're not ready to use Solid Queue in favor of Sidekiq, we should skip it with --skip-solid when running rails new

Another thing to consider is hosting. If we don't call --skip-solid, then we end up with 4 databases:

production:
  primary: &primary_production
    <<: *default
    database: rails_8_production
    username: rails_8
    password: <%= ENV["RAILS_8_DATABASE_PASSWORD"] %>
  cache:
    <<: *primary_production
    database: rails_8_production_cache
    migrations_paths: db/cache_migrate
  queue:
    <<: *primary_production
    database: rails_8_production_queue
    migrations_paths: db/queue_migrate
  cable:
    <<: *primary_production
    database: rails_8_production_cable
    migrations_paths: db/cable_migrate
