Soren is the partnership of Parker and Shannon Selbert. We’re the people behind Oban.
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.

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.

Optimized a worst-case Postgres query from 75s down to 1.5ms...it's unbelievably satisfying and horrifying to make something 50,000x faster 😓

Probably the highest praise Oban has ever received! 💛
Oban is probably the greatest library I have ever used, especially with Oban.Pro on top. The value you get for free - or for a very reasonable amount - is mind-blowing.

Big step forward - @repobot.app now uses Oban for GitHub event processing based a very simple event system. Webhook controller stores events with payloads in the db and immediately schedules workers. Nothing fancy but it's progress! 🤓

Love the initiative from @elixir-lang.org @theerlef.bsky.social @dashbit.bsky.social @oban.pro with stipends for bringing BEAM talks to other communities!
I once did one at @oredev.org - and well with this, all the more reason to do it again there or elsewhere! :)

I have been busy doing too much community and ecosystem stuff to be a good prospector and salesman. If you think I could be helpful to your business, holler. We do big picture consulting on Elixir projects and their teams as well as hands on keyboard work.

Oban Pro v1.6.0-rc.4 is out with important bug fixes, performance improvements, and a powerful new workflow feature called "grafting".
If you've ever needed to inject multiple jobs into the middle of a workflow at runtime, take a look at grafting 👀

If you do stuff in Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, AtomVM or adjacently. You can just ASK to be on BEAM Radio (https://beamrad.io). We do reach out to people but very few people ask. Only the spammers in my inbox.
We want to show more of what happens in the ecosystem so don't be shy :)

I firmly believe the EEF will play an ever increasing role in the success of the Elixir ecosystem, and I intend to do my part to support them in this effort. Our community is growing and the need for coordination on things that impact us all grows alongside it. 👇
