"Love it, love it, love it." 😍 That's @starbuxman.joshlong.com on JobRunr in his latest video. We're humbled, happy, and a little speechless. Full 13-min Spring Boot + JobRunr demo 👇 youtu.be/KHTdPEYAMOM #Java #SpringBoot #opensource #oss

Claude stopped talking to our MCP server. Not a bug. MCP shipped 3 transports in 20 months and we spoke the oldest. Rebuilt on Streamable HTTP (Spring Boot 4.1 + Spring AI 2.0). Old /sse still works. https://www.jobrunr.io/en/mcp/ #Java #SpringBoot #MCP #AI #oss

Before and after version table of the JobRunr MCP server upgrade: Spring Boot 3.3 to 4.1, Spring AI 1.0 to 2.0, MCP Java SDK 0.10 to 2.0, Jackson 2.x to 3.1, MCP protocol versions 1 to 4.

Two reasons to skip JobRunr Spot: your jobs can't safely be re-run, or you need sub-minute pickup. Neither? 62 to 69% below on-demand, measured. The calculator says if your queue fits, even when it's a no. https://www.jobrunr.io/en/spot/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_campaign=spot_beta #Java #AWS #oss

Flowchart on a dark background: 'jobs safe to re-run?' branches to 'keep your servers' (red X) or 'burst on spot' (green check) with a chip reading '62 to 69% cheaper'

Temporal or JobRunr for durable execution in Java? We built the same workflow in both and measured everything: 1,181 DB commits vs 113,218 for the same 1000 orders. 🧪 Full honest comparison: jobrunr.io/en/blog/jobrunr-vs-temporal/ #Java #Temporal #opensource #oss

Architecture comparison: with Temporal your app polls a four-service cluster backed by its own persistence database; with JobRunr the library embeds in your application and uses your existing database. Zero new infrastructure to operate.

JobRunr 8.7.0 is out. 🚀 ✅ Plug JobRunr into any JVM framework ✅ Dashboard follows your system theme ✅ Jackson 3 deserializes common Java collections ✅ Pro: batch continuation from within a batch jobrunr.io/en/blog/jobrunr-v8.7.0/ #Java #SpringBoot #Quarkus #opensource #oss

Durable execution is the buzzword of the moment. The real problem it solves: a job charges a card, the pod restarts before the email, the retry replays the whole job and charges the customer twice. 😬 JobRunr already gives you most of it: jobrunr.io/en/blog/what-is-durable-execution-java/ #Java

Side-by-side comparison: without durable execution a retry replays the whole job and charges the customer twice; with durable execution the completed steps are skipped and the job resumes at the failed email step.

Every AI agent demo works perfectly. Then you run one in prod and the "remind me every Monday" job silently never fires. 🤖 The LLM is the easy part. Reliable scheduling, retries & visibility are the hard part: jobrunr.io/en/blog/why-ai-agents-need-background-jobs/ #AI #Java #opensource #LLM
