Rafael Ponte called JobRunr "probably the best distributed job scheduled library for java" during his talk at JavaZone.

Thank you for the mention Rafael. His full talk on Messaging With PostgreSQL is a must-watch for any Java dev. We will link it in the comments.

Just give it some margin.

With JobRunr, you can define a time window - like 2PM to 8PM - and it’ll pick the lowest carbon hour within that range.

Simple code, real impact.

💡 JobRunr Tip!

When scheduling a background job:
❌ Don’t pass full entities
✅ Pass just the ID (UUID)

Why?
• Smaller job payloads
• Less serialization overhead
• Hibernate loads it correctly in context
• Fewer bugs, more speed 🚀

"How does JobRunr stay relevant with AWS Lambda & serverless everywhere?"

Ronald nailed it:

💬 "Cloud is great—but expensive. JobRunr runs anywhere: local, k8s, serverless… no extra infra, just drop it in."

➡️ Cloud when you want it - not because you're forced to.
