Repeat Sidekiq in case of failure but from a point where the failure occured

I have a Sidekiq job which can fail. The job contains a few operations making requests to REST API. In case of failure Sidekiq will repeat the job and it's by default. However, I don't want it to repeat the job from the beginning, it should repeat from that operation which has caused the failure and up to the point when the last operation has been successful. How can I do that?

Out of the box this is obviously impossible. Sidekiq does not parse your code and he knows barely nothing about where the error occurred. One should break the job into chain of small jobs, one running other. 

class Job1
  def perform
    ...
    Job2.perform_async
  end
end

...

That way as, say, Job3 failed, it will be rescheduled and everything will behave exactly as you want.
