amandragon / LinkChecker

An example of using sidekiq and redis by checking if links are valid on a given url.

LinkChecker

This is a demo application. The basic functionality is a site that allows the user to enter a url. The LinkChecker will then parse the contents of the url entered using nokogiri, get all the link tags in the page, and check if the links are valid (returns a 200 or 300).

Objectives

• Show a use case for doing work in the background
• Demonstrate Redis and Sidekiq to fix the problem
