Thanks Christina! I'd actually found that and forgot to mention I implemented it.
After a bit more research I found it interesting how Sidekiq/Ruby handles memory (I'm a RoR newb). I noticed when Sidekiq finished a job that the memory did not get released back to the OS. And I subsequently learned that it just releases it back to Ruby. The process then just slowly increments its memory over time and blows the gasket on my dynos unless I kill them.
I've ended up implementing github.com/klaxit/sidekiq-worker-k... and it's working great! I haven't noticed any side effects, but my community is in its infant stages right now so I'm keeping a close eye on it.
