Asynchronous Job Processing in Java with JobRunr

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

JobRunr is a lightweight Java library that offloads long-running tasks to background workers using Postgres (or MongoDB) persistence and a Spring Boot starter; live coding builds a leader (controller) and worker (train) pair, enqueues a DriveRequest via a JobScheduler, and the demo shows jobs execute, retry, and appear in the dashboard. Default retry is 10 retries, metrics export via Micrometer, JSON serialization via Jackson, recurring jobs and dashboarded replay work; leader + worker demo worked.
