Move sidekiq job straight to dead queue

Question

Is it possible to move sidekiq job straight to dead queue from SidekiqWorker instance level (i.e. while executing)

class MyWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options retry: 9

  def perform(name)
    if name == 'StackOverflow'
      # ----> skip_retry_queue_and_go_to_dead_queue
    else 
      # do_stuff!
    end
  end
end

Answer 1

Not dynamically within an executing job.

Statically, if you set sidekiq_options retry: 0, the job will go straight to the Dead set if it raises an error.
