Honeybadger now integrates with Oban, a #Python port of the popular #Elixir background job library. 📚 - Failed workers are reported automatically. - Every job emits telemetry to Honeybadger Insights. - Requests that enqueue a job stay traceable throughout. Big thanks to @oban.pro for the support!

Powerful but subtle features are coming together for Oban Pro. Schedule an entire workflow with an annotation, and offload every cascade's output to object storage. Aside from the ETL functions themselves, that's the entire thing 👇

This is an excellent suggestion (and something we've been doing for any deep changes). Typing out changes loads context into your mind in a way you'll never get from reading in a code review.
