Oban is really awesome, are you inspired by it?

Title said “no overengineering” so I doubt it.

  • I would argue that Oban isn't overengineered.

    If so should we also consider PostgreSQL overengineered?

    It's a shame OP decided to use Elixir as base, many ecosystems don't have mature task queues (e.g. for Rust I had to roll my own: simple_queue) so the space IMO would be more welcoming.

    On OTP doubt anything can even make a dent in Oban user base.

  • Satisfied former Oban user here. Oban is engineered. Your use-case may be petty, though, like your comment.
