What are the 'Iron Laws' for Oban jobs?

The Iron Laws are essential best practices including ensuring jobs are idempotent, storing IDs instead of structs, handling all return values, and using string keys for arguments.

How does it handle rate limiting for external APIs?

It guides the configuration of specific queues with appropriate concurrency limits and recommends the use of dispatch_cooldown for external API interactions.

Can it help with testing background jobs?

Absolutely. It provides standardized patterns for using Oban.Testing to assert that jobs are enqueued correctly and to verify job performance using perform_job/2.

Why shouldn't I store structs in Oban job arguments?

Oban serializes arguments to JSON in the database. Storing structs can lead to serialization errors or stale data; it is best practice to store IDs and fetch fresh data inside the worker.

Does this skill support Oban Pro features?

Yes, it includes logic to detect Oban Pro and provides specific patterns for Pro workers, workflows, batches, and the Pro testing suite.
