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...

A new guide on the Oban "Job Lifecycle" explains the job states, what they mean, and how they're related (it's been sorely missing for years) hexdocs.pm/oban/job_lif... #ElixirLang

Our latest article on Oban Pro v1.6's new "Cascade Mode", and using it to generate a collection of children's stories: oban.pro/articles/wea...

Oban Web v2.11.2 (and v2.11.3) are out with a couple minor enhancements, as well as the nifty addition of a new igniter backed install task. You can install Oban Web with one command now! hexdocs.pm/oban_web/cha... #ElixirLang

The Erlang SSH library has a critical security vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution. Upgrade to OTP 27.3.3 (or others noted below) ASAP #ElixirLang

Forgot to mention—there's a new Oban Pro composition guide! It explains when and how to use batches, chains, chunks, and workflows: oban.pro/docs/pro/1.6...

The Oban Pro v1.6 RC is out! Including: 🗂️ Sub-Workflows 🖼️ Context and Workflow Status 🧰 Queue Partitioning Overhaul 🧨 Global Burst Mode 🍋 Preserve DynamicQueues Updates 🎨 Decorated Job Enhancements Take 🎶 — if you make heavy use of queue partitioning or workflows, this is the release for you!

Powering the Superbowl, The Olympics and Paris fashion shows with Elixir. I connected with Cyanview in my work and as I unpacked what they were up to I couldn't believe my ears. The case study is finally up. Enjoy. #superbowl #mqtt

Elixir's mix might spawn more OS processes for fetching deps in the future, which looks to improve performance around 2x github.com/elixir-lang/... would be cool! #ElixirLang

Recently I discussed the topic of code reviews with @abt.bsky.social, the author of the book "Looks Good To Me: Constructive Code Reviews". The video of our unscripted conversation, recorded in a single take, is now live. Hope you'll enjoy watching it, as much as I enjoyed recording it 🤞

Elixir now meets OpenChain (ISO/IEC 5230) standards! This milestone strengthens our commitment to open source license compliance and secure development. Get the full story and see what it means for contributors and users alike: elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/02...

Inspired by logic in `mix phx.new` (slightly more aggressive), Igniter now prompts you to upgrade if your archive is out of date. Additionally, the installer will run `mix deps.update igniter` in your app before running installers. This will hopefully avoid many DX issues in the future. #ElixirLang

Idemo! "Let's go!" See you there ❤️‍🔥

We said we will focus on interoperability for 2025 and we are ready to share the first results. Embedding Python in Elixir, it's Fine: dashbit.co/blog/running... More updates likely at ElixirConf EU 2025 :)
