📚 ABOUT THE EPISODE

Welcome to the 18th episode of the main series!

This time Grzegorz Godlewski and Marek Urbanowicz met up to discuss their experience and recommendations on implementing background jobs. Any system which is growing in scale, will need those at some point either to implement performance improvements (by putting some work into the background) or new business requirements (which are supposed to run in background).

Tune in for insights on how this can be done! 🎧

📑 TOPICS COVERED

👉 How simple business analysis can help you in determining candidates for background jobs
👉 What software architecture patterns come in handy while implementing them
👉 What are the best practices for reliable implementations
👉 Some tools/products which you might consider for your implementation

⌚ TIMELINE

00:00 - Intro
01:14 - How to identify candidates for background jobs
08:28 - Employ the transactional outbox pattern
11:53 - Dealing with state in background jobs
15:29 - Scheduling and processing batched operations
18:40 - Avoiding state with Event Carried State Transfer pattern
21:14 - Silver bullets and golden hammers - the tooling
28:08 - Emphasis on idempotency
