Thank you for the mention Rafael. His full talk on Messaging With PostgreSQL is a must-watch for any Java dev. We will link it in the comments.

💡 JobRunr Tip!

When scheduling a background job:
❌ Don’t pass full entities
✅ Pass just the ID (UUID)

Why?
• Smaller job payloads
• Less serialization overhead
• Hibernate loads it correctly in context
• Fewer bugs, more speed 🚀

What's the Difference Between Message Queues and Job Schedulers?

JobRunr @jobrunr.bsky.social · Jun 19

"How does JobRunr stay relevant with AWS Lambda & serverless everywhere?"

Ronald nailed it:

💬 "Cloud is great—but expensive. JobRunr runs anywhere: local, k8s, serverless… no extra infra, just drop it in."

➡️ Cloud when you want it - not because you're forced to.

🧵 Message Queue vs. Job Scheduler, what’s the real difference?

Queues = event-driven, great for microservices & decoupling
Schedulers = time-aware, perfect for “run this 3 days from now”

Tried delaying an email with just Kafka? 😅 Yeah, it gets messy.

Ever found yourself wondering whether you need a message queue or a job scheduler? It’s a common crossroads for developers. This post explains the difference.
