Description

We are running gitlab on a low scale, thus we do not need 25 sidekiq workers (as they have a quite high memory load). So far there is only an option to configurate UNICORN_WORKERS and NGINX_WORKERS. It would be nice to have an option for the number of sidekiq workers as well.

This issue was alread discussed here: http://serverfault.com/questions/538644/25-sidekiq-processes-for-gitlab

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the existing UNICORN_WORKERS and NGINX_WORKERS configuration and then inspect how Sidekiq processes are launched. Done means the Sidekiq worker count can be configured for low-scale deployments and the configured value is used when the container starts.
