Can someone indicate how sidekiq is starting when we run `rails server`? I looked everywhere in the code and can’t figure it out.

General recommendation in dev is just to use:

```plaintext
bin/unicorn

```

and then in another window:

```plaintext
bin/ember-cli

```

The unicorn wrapper ensure a Sidekiq process is started.
