Still using Thread for background work? Meet JobRunr instead. 🚀
🔸 TLDR
JobRunr makes background jobs & retries in Java simple, with clear APIs & powerful dashboards.
1️⃣ BASIC JOB CODE SNIPPET
BackgroundJob.enqueue(() -> emailService.sendWelcomeEmail(userId));
👉Run a fire‑and‑forget job outside HTTP request/response for better performance.
2️⃣ RECURRING JOB CODE SNIPPET
BackgroundJob.scheduleRecurrently(
"my-id",
Cron.daily(),
() -> System.out.println("Easy!")
);
👉Schedule recurring tasks (reports, cleanups) using clean CRON helpers.
3️⃣ RETRIES & FAILURES CODE SNIPPET
BackgroundJob.enqueue(() -> paymentService.charge(orderId));
// configure retries in JobRunr settings / dashboard
👉Failed jobs are retried automatically and visible in the JobRunr dashboard.
