Where we're going... we don't need batch jobs
Ever write a batch job? Batch jobs are bits of code that periodically look at your database’s current or historic state and then act on it. They often run off-hours or in the middle of the night to avoid performance impact, and if they fail while processing, get ready for a pager alert. You can prevent this nightmare by telling your system what to do in the future! Look to the real world to model a long-running business process from start to finish.
Join me and learn:
- The challenges with recurring batch jobs.
- How to move a business process away from batch processing.
- Real-world use cases for modelling future events.
