Back in 2015 I was a guy automating things at my job and two scripts had a common need -- they both had to pass the same credentials to Jenkins (via query params, I guess). That common tool with a single method was a Net::HTTP wrapper -- that's where the name from. Then when the third script appeared two of them had to pass the Basic Auth. The verb POST was added and common logging format, and relatively complex retry logic. Then some website had redirects and I had to store cookies, then GZIP and API rate limits... I was not going to gemify this monster but it is now a dependency in many other gems, and since Gemfile does not support Github dependencies I have to finally gemify it.

You can use this client to access the Google Sheets API, but note that some services may provide a separate modern client that is easier to use.

SidekiqAlive offers a solution to add liveness probe of a Sidekiq instance. How? A http server is started and on each requests validates that a liveness key is stored in Redis. If it is there means is working. A Sidekiq job is the responsable to storing this key. If Sidekiq stops processing jobs this key gets expired by Redis an consequently the http server will return a 500 error. This Job is responsible to requeue itself for the next liveness probe.
