🚨 We hit 20 million Oban jobs in available state!

In our latest blog post, I dive into:
What caused the spike and why available jobs kept accumulating
How we resolved it using:

• Oban Pro’s ChunkWorker
• Postgres reindexing + VACUUM ANALYZE
• Manual SQL to throttle job flow
• Oban Web’s batch job controls

Plus insights on job argument versioning, queue misconfigurations, and proactive Oban monitoring
