The next release of Oban Pro for Python adds pub/sub over distributed Erlang as an alternative to Postgres. Bringing the Erlang magic to Python, one bit at a time.

Oban Web v2.13 is out! It includes a complete visual refresh, optimizations, deep Pro v1.8 integration, an archived jobs view, chain/chunk/backfill navigation, and a ton of minor bugfixes. oban-web.hexdocs.pm/2.13.0/chang...

Prepping "And Then There Were Nil", our sequel to "The Oban Murders", for Goatmire in a few weeks (goatmire.com)

Thanks to everybody that came by to visit our home-away-from home booth at @elixirconf.bsky.social! It was wonderful to see you all.

Pardon the extensive Pro v1.8 release, that's where working on a project full time for 5 months gets you 😄

We are happy to announce that Oban Pro oban.pro has joined in financial support for the EEF. com.erlef.org/wg/sup/2026/... @oban.pro

Oban Pro v1.8.0-rc is also out! Building on Oban v2.24, it brings a lot: ⚙️ Streamlined configuration ↩️ Workflow compensations 🛻 Cursor-based backfills ⏰ Inline cron ☁️ External recorded storage 🧹 Persistent pruning 🗃️ Automatic archiving Full changelog: oban.pro/docs/pro/cha..., and a teeny sample:

Honeybadger now integrates with Oban, a #Python port of the popular #Elixir background job library. 📚 - Failed workers are reported automatically. - Every job emits telemetry to Honeybadger Insights. - Requests that enqueue a job stay traceable throughout. Big thanks to @oban.pro for the support!

The final episode! After 6 years, we close with news on LiveView 1.2 colocated CSS, Earmark’s retirement, Sagents v0.8.0, #Postgres 19, SpaceX buying Cursor AI for $60B, and what’s next for David and Mark! @elixir-lang.org #ElixirLang www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5FW...

The Claude Status page is looks an awful lot like a pack of Fruit Stripe gum

Powerful but subtle features are coming together for Oban Pro. Schedule an entire workflow with an annotation, and offload every cascade's output to object storage. Aside from the ETL functions themselves, that's the entire thing 👇

This is an excellent suggestion (and something we've been doing for any deep changes). Typing out changes loads context into your mind in a way you'll never get from reading in a code review.

Oban Py Pro v0.6 is out with workflow improvements including: 📡 Signals and Awaiting 🗂️ Workflow Tracking 🦄 Unique Workflows It's now possible to have hybrid Elixir + Python workflows with shared signal handling! Full Changelog: oban.pro/docs/py_pro/...

Oban v2.23 is out! Another off-cadence release, entirely dedicated to resilience, performance, and correctness (nothing shiny here): ☣️ Unique state checks 🪵 Resilient retry exhaustion ☕ Jittered queue dispatch hexdocs.pm/oban/2.23.0/...

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

📯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

Oban Pro v1.7.0 is out with: 📡 Signals and awaiting 🫆 Unique workflows ⚖️ Rate limiting overhaul 📦 Chunking overhaul 🪝 Global cancel/discard hooks 📇 Improved indexes Plus dozens of other improvements, and it unlocks all the features in Web v2.12. oban.pro/docs/pro/1.7... Signaling shown here:

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...

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 😜
