“Oban Pro has been an absolute delight. There are so many nice touches in Web for keeping tabs on the queues. As a customer, I feel confident that this vital piece of application infrastructure is actively cared for.”
“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.”
