JobRunr v9 Launch Webinar: See Inside Every Background Job
On this page

JobRunr v9 ships on Wednesday 30 September. The day after, we go live and celebrate the release with you by breaking jobs on purpose. No slides: Ronald Dehuysser, the creator of JobRunr, live-codes the whole hour and Nicholas D’hondt hosts.

Thursday 1 October 2026, 12:30 to 13:30 CEST. Free, online.

That is 11:30 in London, 06:30 in New York, 03:30 in San Francisco and 16:00 in Bengaluru.

It is the same stream on both platforms, so pick the one you already use. Ask your questions in the chat on either one, we read both.

What we will show you

In JobRunr OSS (free)

  • Durable jobs with runStepOnce. Turn an ordinary background job into a durable job that resumes at the step that failed, instead of starting again from the top.
  • The new job progress timeline. We fail step three of a durable job on purpose, then watch the automatic retry skip the finished steps on the dashboard.
  • One more thing in the open source version that we are keeping for the stream.

In JobRunr Pro

  • Batches. Enqueue hundreds of jobs atomically and follow them as one run.
  • Pausing a batch halfway through a failing run, letting the running jobs finish, and resuming once the cause is fixed.
  • The JobRunr Analytics Dashboard. A completely new dashboard to see how your servers and jobs are doing and to triage where an issue sits.

We keep plenty of time for Q&A. Send your question in the comments of the LinkedIn event beforehand, or ask it live.

Watch it here

The player below goes live on 1 October at 12:30 CEST and turns into the replay once the stream ends.
