Monitor Sidekiq using Cloudwatch metrics

[orlando]

What: Monitor Sidekiq using Cloudwatch metrics

Why: We want to monitor sidekiq workers health and detect issues.

How:

I would like to integrate this in our sidekiq directly, like using something like this https://github.com/sj26/sidekiq-cloudwatchmetrics. But feel free to propose another approach.

For example here is one using lambda to gather metrics from Sidekiq https://brandonhilkert.com/blog/monitoring-sidekiq-using-aws-lambda-and-cloudwatch/
