title: Rails: Starting Sidekiq on Heroku
body: <p>I'm having a problem getting Sidekiq up and running on my Heroku deployed Rails app. I have my app working fine in development (and on Heroku without Sidekiq).</p>
  
  <p>I created a Procfile with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>worker: bundle exec sidekiq
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run <code>heroku ps</code>, the only process I see is <code>web.1</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Should I see one for 
  Sidekiq?</p>
  
  <p>I do get an error:</p>
  
  <p><code>Redis::CannotConnectError (Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379)</code> in my Heroku logs.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Found I probably needed <code>heroku addons:add redistogo</code>. Still not working.  I feel I'm missing some basic configuration.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something I need to do to get Redis up and running for my Heroku app?</p>
  
  <p>I've been using Redis/Sidekiq for about a day, so this is new to me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
