Abstract	This article examines the role of asynchronous data processing in the architecture of modern Ruby applications. Particular attention is given to the use of background jobs and message queues as tools for offloading the main execution thread and improving server-side performance. The architecture of asynchronous processes is studied with a focus on the integration of tools such as Sidekiq and RabbitMQ within the Ruby ecosystem. It analyzes the specifics of their use, implementation approaches, and the principles of organizing queues and workers in the context of web applications. It explores the comparative efficiency of Sidekiq and RabbitMQ in handling background tasks, considering their strengths and weaknesses in terms of reliability, scalability, fault tolerance, and ease of operation.
Keywords	Ruby, Asynchronous processing, Background jobs, Message queues, Sidekiq, RabbitMQ, Performance.
