It's definitely more involved, and might be slightly more complex to generalize, but in essence it's quite straight-forward:

1. Client sends a request via Ajax to a rails controller and simultaneously opens a private pusher channel to wait for a response.

2. Controller returns a response immediately and fires-off a sidekiq job.

3. The sidekiq job does the heavy lifting and pushes the results back via pusher (it can be JSON data, or a rendered partial).

4. Client receives the response via the pusher channel and shows it on the page.
