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.

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 😎

Bridging Elixir and Python with Oban Using Oban to seamlessly exchange durable jobs between Elixir and Python applications through a shared PostgreSQL database.

New article, "Bridging Elixir and Python with Oban"

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.

Note that we released Oban _and_ Oban Pro for Python (github.com/oban-bg/oban...)

Thanks! We haven't posted on Mastodon in ages and had no idea there was a large Python contingent over there.

One Million Jobs a Minute with Oban Explore Oban's performance boundaries and system load through a journey to processing millions of jobs a minute.

In our experience, speed isn’t an issue. There are Elixir apps running hundreds of millions of jobs a day.

Goatmire Elixir & NervesConf EU September 30th to October 2nd, 2026

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.

#elixirlang #goatmire

We submitted a wild proposal today as well. Just one, YOLO style, instead of playing it safe with 2-3 options 🤞

The Oban Murders - Shannon & Parker Selbert YouTube video by Goatmire International

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.

Get Excited About Postgres 18 | Crunchy Data Blog New to Postgres 18, features like asynchronous i/o, uuid v7, b-tree skip scans, and virtual generated columns.

The b-tree skip scans improvement is especially exciting (www.crunchydata.com/blog/get-exc...). Oban makes _heavy_ use of multi-column indexes.

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 😜

Magic! 🪄we’ll be there and we’re so excited! Come one and all!

Our GitHub repository is now public!

Thanks for the heads up. It’s fixed!

Robust Job Processing Oban is a background job system built in Elixir and Postgres, and packed with enterprise grade features, real-time monitoring with Oban Web, and complex workflow management with Oban Pro.

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.

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.
