Don't use RMagick
Raw
no_rmagick
I worked for a client where I have to generate an image version to be display in frontend (old code use original image which size ~6MBx40images for a gallery). I added a new image version in ImageUploader class then run a background job to reprocess large version. The website keep crashing every 20mn, after the whole day debugging the job, debugging sidekiq, trying uncached query, result still the same.
After a whole day I found the issue, it caused by RMagick. I migrate to MiniMagick which is a replacement for RMagick.

"I was using RMagick and loving it, but it was eating up huge amounts of memory. Even a simple script would use over 100MB of RAM. On my local machine this wasn't a problem, but on my hosting server the ruby apps would crash because of their 100MB memory limit."
So choose a gem carefully!
