5 minute intro

Take a look at our example projects:

We have different example projects on GitHub that help you start:

• https://github.com/jobrunr/example-spring
  This repository is the most simple example with Spring integration. It exists out of a backend module and a frontend module with a shared module containing the background job. The frontend module enqueues new background jobs which are being processed by the background module.
• https://github.com/jobrunr/example-salary-slip
  This repository contains an example on how to generate a lot of salary slips each Sunday evening using a recurring job.
• https://github.com/jobrunr/example-salary-slip/tree/kubernetes
  Do you want to scale and get the processing done faster? In this example we use Terraform to define infrastructure as code and setup a Kubernetes cluster with 10 instances of JobRunr. More info? See also the accompanying blog post.

There are also other example projects available - you can find them here: https://github.com/jobrunr?q=example

Or follow along!

The complete example below can be found here: https://github.com/jobrunr/example-fluent

Add the JobRunr dependency to your project

Using your build tool of choice, add the dependency to the following artifact:

• groupId: org.jobrunr
• artifactId: jobrunr
• version: ${jobrunr.version}

Choose your storage system and configure JobRunr

Use the InMemoryStorageProvider (or any other DataSource or supported StorageProvider) and pass it to JobRunr:

JobRunr.configure()
        .useJobActivator(applicationContext::getBean)
        .useStorageProvider(new InMemoryStorageProvider())
        .useBackgroundJobServer()
        .useDashboard()
        .initialize();

Start enqueueing jobs!

BackgroundJob.enqueue(() -> System.out.println("Simple!"));

And monitor them

Using your browser, go to the JobRunr dashboard located at http://localhost:8000/dashboard.

Credits

JobRunr would not have existed without some other projects and I want to give them credits.
