The Oban test suite is now fully async with zero flakes across 100 runs! The trick? Preventing _all_ global state leaks (telemetry, pubsub, logging, db reset)

🚨 New Blog Post 🚨 I wrote about how I got into finding CVEs and what's the plan going forward. Also, I open-sourced the prompts I've been using. peterullrich.com/what-the-cve

A solid day optimizing Oban's metrics layer. We sped up a common operation used in Web by ~1200x, and all other operations are < 1ms!

📯Jazz Hands👐 We have a dedicated page to show off Oban Web! Turns out, removing the public Web demo (bots scraping millions of fake jobs non-stop got tiresome), was worth it! oban.pro/web

Oban Pro v1.7's new "Signals", for human-in-the-loop flows, is landing in Oban Web

"Another late-night emergency call. Same client as last week. .. This can’t be an unbounded query or a caching blunder, it’s bigger than that." They return. Another mystery, another investigation for the detectives. goatmire.com/speaker/park... goatmire.com/speaker/shan... #goatmire #elixirlang

Final touches to workflow graph wrapped today

Workflows in Oban Web are coming along nicely...

Oban Py v0.6.0 is out! This adds metric broadcasting and tweaks for Oban Web dashboard integration along with a few minor bug fixes. github.com/oban-bg/oban...

AshOban v0.8.0-rc.0 is out, with support for Oban Pro's chunk workers! This allows you to leverage #AshFramework's ability to run any action as a bulk action(with progressive enhancement) to process many records at a time without having to modify your trigger logic at all 😎

New article, "Bridging Elixir and Python with Oban" oban.pro/articles/bri...

Elixir and Python jobs running together, living side-by-side in the same Oban Web dashboard

Cron status and management, coming soon to Oban Web

A standalone docker image to run Oban Web is available! This provides a convenient UI for Oban Py, and naturally it works for Elixir based Oban apps as well. Read about available options like basic auth, read only mode, Oban Pro integration, etc. in the guide. hexdocs.pm/oban_web/sta...

Today we're releasing Oban for Python! oban.pro/articles/int...

I was thinking since Goatmire Elixir turned out pretty good I should maybe do another one. 30th of Sep - 2nd of Oct this year. We have a list to notify you about the progress and when tickets drop, getting on that list also helps indicate interest. www.goatmire.com #elixirlang #goatmire

Goatmire wasn't a conference, it was an experience. Thanks @lawik.bsky.social Elixir, background jobs, Oban themed, Nordic Noir murder mystery anyone? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxU...

Postgres 18.0 was just released! What does it mean for Oban? Glad you asked: - Asynchronous I/O for improved scans - Skip scans for multi-column B-Tree indexes - Parallel builds of GIN indexes - Improved vacuum strategy - Many optimizer improvements - Native UUIDv7 data type

Fun fact about the picture for this article...it comes from a former bank vault in Cleveland that housed the Rockefeller and Carnegie fortunes. It was a prohibition era speakeasy, and now an atmospheric bar.

New article touting Oban's distinct agentic workflow abilities: oban.pro/articles/unl...

Thank you @lawik.bsky.social and the whole team for #goatmire. The conference was even better than anticipated—if you weren't there, you really missed out! We got to solve a tricky murder in a historic theater with colleagues who feel like friends and family ❤️‍🔥

Goatmire has been the BEST conference I’ve ever been to. A HUGE HUGE compliment to the organizers, volunteers, and staff. It’s been incredibly inspiring and entertaining. Thank you SO much and please please please do it again next year 🙏❤️

Chicago 🎉

@oban.pro's doing, for sure 😜

Our GitHub repository is now public! github.com/elixir-lang/...

Oban v2.20.0 is out with a fantastic new helper function, an optional migration to aid pruning, some stability improvements, and a bevy of documentation updates! 🦋 Update job ❄️ Unique state groups 🪺 Nested plugin supervision github.com/oban-bg/oban... #elixirlang #oban

This conference is brought to you by .. a library. But not just any library. Oban Pro is a supporting sponsor of Goatmire Elixir. One of the most well-respected tools in the Elixir toolbox. A no-brainer for robust job processing, workflows and much more. oban.pro #elixirlang

I love behind-the-scenes type stuff. I try to share my experiences so far with creating Goatmire Elixir (and NervesConf EU). Hope it is helpful to anyone trying to pull together a conference or event. underjord.io/making-of-an... #elixirlang

Amid the speculation of sensational job deaths, we invite you review the data and solve "The Oban Murders" in Sweden! #Goatmire #ElixirLang

Oban Pro v1.6 is out! Thanks to everybody that helped refine the release candidates. A refresher on what landed: 🗂️ Sub-Workflows 🌊 Cascading workflows 🪴 Grafting sub-workflows 🖼️ Workflow context 🧰 Overhauled partitioning 🧨 Global burst mode 🍋 Preserve queue updates

Optimized a worst-case Postgres query from 75s down to 1.5ms...it's unbelievably satisfying and horrifying to make something 50,000x faster 😓

Probably the highest praise Oban has ever received! 💛

🗞️ A handful of guides to help unlock your Oban usage: First, if you're using Oban in production, definitely read the "Ready for Production" guide! It contains some important tips to ensure you have healthy, debuggable Oban usage: hexdocs.pm/oban/ready_f...

Big step forward - @repobot.app now uses Oban for GitHub event processing based a very simple event system. Webhook controller stores events with payloads in the db and immediately schedules workers. Nothing fancy but it's progress! 🤓

Sentry Elixir SDK 11.0.0 was just released with beta support for Tracing using #OpenTelemetry! 🎉 Please give it a go and report any issues you may find - this is early stage and feedback is much appreciated! #ElixirLang #Observability #Monitoring #DevOps 👇🏻

Love the initiative from @elixir-lang.org @theerlef.bsky.social @dashbit.bsky.social @oban.pro with stipends for bringing BEAM talks to other communities! I once did one at @oredev.org - and well with this, all the more reason to do it again there or elsewhere! :) elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/06...

Oban Pro v1.6.0-rc.5 is out without any new features, _just_ performance and bug fixes. Barring any large bug reports this is the final RC before v1.6! oban.pro/docs/pro/1.6...

I have been busy doing too much community and ecosystem stuff to be a good prospector and salesman. If you think I could be helpful to your business, holler. We do big picture consulting on Elixir projects and their teams as well as hands on keyboard work. #elixirlang

It's that time of year again: Stack Overflow survey! Do your part and represent your community! #ElixirLang stackoverflow.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Oban Pro v1.6.0-rc.4 is out with important bug fixes, performance improvements, and a powerful new workflow feature called "grafting". If you've ever needed to inject multiple jobs into the middle of a workflow at runtime, take a look at grafting 👀 oban.pro/docs/pro/1.6...

If you do stuff in Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, AtomVM or adjacently. You can just ASK to be on BEAM Radio (https://beamrad.io). We do reach out to people but very few people ask. Only the spammers in my inbox. We want to show more of what happens in the ecosystem so don't be shy :) #elixirlang #erlang

#ElixirLang ❤️ @theerlef.bsky.social I firmly believe the EEF will play an ever increasing role in the success of the Elixir ecosystem, and I intend to do my part to support them in this effort. Our community is growing and the need for coordination on things that impact us all grows alongside it. 👇

Last call for DORS/CLUC! Join me this week in Zagreb for two days of open source conversations. Catch my "Tell me a Story" talk live, hear @oban.pro of the Oban team talk about sustainable OSS, and see many other great talks. See you there 🤞 www.dorscluc.org

The architecture of Oban Web at #ElixirConfEU #ElixirLang

Kevin Bolton sharing ways he’s using his magic programming tools! @elixir-lang.org @oban.pro @ash-hq.org #phoenixLiveview #ElixirLang

Amazing addition! The Oban dashboard looks great, especially automatically showing outliers 👏

I enjoy an ecosystem that is not funded by a megacorp. How does Elixir continue to exist? #elixirlang

News includes a critical vulnerability in Erlang/OTP SSH, @JoseValim's new project teaser, Oban Pro's new "Cascade Mode", Semaphore Ci open-sourcing their Elixir platform, code sandboxing options, and more! #ElixirLang #Erlang www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG0l...
