They certainly do, and I don't think it's a controversial take at this point. Shameless link to an older article about throughput with Oban ( https://oban.pro/articles/one-million-…

As a library maintainer, skill and taste are almost equally important. If I can’t recognize inefficiencies, difficult to maintain code, or generally unpleasant code smells, then pe…

The efforts we've undergone to make Oban (and Pro) work with CRDB have been ridiculous. Feature detection all over because of a lack of common operators and functions that can't be…

The moment that OpenCode, after helping fix a Dockerfile issue, decided it was time to deploy to prod without asking for consent , I was out.

Nearly this, but using ghostty instead of tmux. You don’t get the remote connection aspect of tmux, but for splitting/zooming/preserving windows it is fantastic. The best part is y…

There is one for elixir that is _mostly_ compatible with oban-py. Full compatibility, and potentially native hosting, are goals before 1.0 https://github.com/oban-bg/oban_web

With a typical Redis or RabbitMQ backed durable queue you’re not guaranteed to get the job back at all after an unexpected shutdown. That quote is also a little incorrect—producer …

You can have jobs that run as long as you like. The difference is purely in how quickly they are restored after a crash or a shutdown that doesn’t wait long enough.

This is absolutely true (except we went OSS + Web initially, Pro came later). You were an inspiration, always helpful in discussion, and definitely paved the way for this business …

> The vast, vast majority of Python libraries are not async-friendly and most still rely on the GIL. On the other hand, Celery has absolutely no asyncio support at all, which sets …

Transactions around fetching/updating aren't trivial, that's true. However, the work that you're doing _is_ regular activity because it's part of your application logic. That's dat…

There are other projects that implement the ideas in OSS, but that's the same in Elixir. Not that we necessarily invented DAGs/workflows, but our durable implementation on the Elix…

> It supports workflows, rate limiting, unique jobs, bulk operations, transactional enqueuing, etc. Why not move these things to the OSS version to be competitive with existing opt…

> Oban has been a lifesaver for me and it is the tool I miss the most from the Elixir ecosystem when doing work in Python That's wonderful to hear! Hopefully you can make use of Ob…

Pleased to see this posted! A lot of design time and effort behind this project (something we'll be speaking about this year). Happy to answer any questions people may have.

Seconded. I was going to say the exact same thing. Brilliant thought exercise that I still think about on a weekly basis 20 years later.

Before looking at the zoo I figured there would be a dozen or so engines compared. Seeing the actual comparison is astounding! The amount of work just to aggregate and compare is a…

It is an old US military term that means “F*ked Up Beyond All Recognition”
