Scaling Oban Applications

Perhaps you've heard the common refrain that relational database backed queues don't scale. Well, times have changed, databases have improved, and for Elixir the BEAM gives us a leg up. Every day real-world applications use Oban to process tens-of-millions of a jobs a day across clusters of all sizes.

Come learn about the common pain-points impacting the growth of Oban applications and how you can avoid them. Together, we'll identify the underlying causes of common problems and explore step-by-step strategies to mitigate them (spoiler, it's bloat).

Armed with a better understanding of how Oban operates at scale, you can prevent common issues before you encounter them and plan for the future as your application booms.

This talk was given by Shannon & Parker Selbert in Lisbon, Portugal at ElixirConf EU; April 2024. 40 mins in duration, the video of this talk is available online.
