@getajobmike.ruby.social.ap.brid.gy 👋 Congrats on the Sidekiq 8.0 release. Any reason for the Redis 7.2+ requirement? I ask because that isn't an option in AWS. The upgrade path from Redis 7.1 to Valkey 7.2+ isn't as simple as one would hope. It's a whole new cluster that has to be provisioned.

E. All four of my kiddos have been home sick for the past few weeks.

This would be in a rails controller response without the need for the websockets. Basically pass an array with the turbo_stream and it will update multiple spots on the page.

I had a chance to look at the issue. You can target multiple frames in a controller response

render turbo_stream: [
turbo_stream.append(dom_id(@foo), partial: "foo", locals: { foo: @foo}),
turbo_stream.replace(dom_id(@bar, "bar_new"), partial: "bar", locals: { bar: @bar })
]
