“Oban Pro's batches are perfect for our workload. We're transferring over $1M/month in basic income and Oban has never skipped a beat.”
“Oban Pro took our CSV upload processing from serial to parallel in a couple of days. At a point I dreaded, I discovered that the Relay plugin already anticipated my use case. Five minutes later, it's working.”
“We're quite happy with how Oban Pro has simplified our codebase. It’s a wonderful thing when people create quality products that are worth paying for.”
