Sidekiq Queue Kill Switch is a free Chrome extension designed for on-call and operations teams utilizing Sidekiq Enterprise. This tool enhances the existing queue management interface by adding convenient bulk Pause All and Unpause All controls directly to the Sidekiq queues page. It addresses the need for a safer and quicker method to manage queue processing during critical situations such as incidents or maintenance tasks.

The extension operates exclusively on Sidekiq queue pages, leveraging the current UI to perform actions. It focuses on safety by only allowing pause and unpause operations, without the risk of deleting queues. The extension ensures that actions are verified post-execution and employs retries in case the Sidekiq UI state is not immediately consistent, making it a reliable tool for teams managing high-risk deployments.
