Jakub Hajto discusses his professional experiences with Oban and Broadway, two popular Elixir libraries for handling jobs and message consumption respectively. He describes the scenarios where each library excels and provides detailed architectural hacks and usage patterns. Hajto outlines his work at companies like Hoku and uses real-world examples to illustrate the strengths and limitations of both libraries. He further proposes a design pattern that abstracts job execution, allowing for easier switching between libraries without significant refactoring. The talk includes technical comparisons, best practices, and some alternative tools that might be suitable for different use cases.
