Upgrading to v2.24

This release unifies configuration for queues, repos, and services, and renames the maintenance plugins to top-level modules. No migration is required, and all configuration changes are backward compatible—you can adopt them incrementally.

Bump Your Deps

Update Oban (and optionally Pro) to the latest versions:

[
  {:oban, "~> 2.24"},
]

Move Plugins to Service Configuration (Optional)

Maintenance plugins are now services with first-class configuration keys: cron, lifeline, pruner, and reindexer. Move entries out of the :plugins list and onto dedicated keys:

 config :my_app, Oban,
-  plugins: [
-    {Oban.Plugins.Cron, crontab: [{"0 2 * * *", MyApp.Nightly}]},
-    Oban.Plugins.Lifeline,
-    {Oban.Plugins.Pruner, max_age: 60 * 60 * 24 * 7}
-  ]
+  cron: [crontab: [{"0 2 * * *", MyApp.Nightly}]],
+  lifeline: Oban.Lifeline,
+  pruner: [max_age: {7, :days}]

A keyword list configures the default service, a module or {module, opts} tuple configures an alternative, and false disables it. The :plugins list still works and remains available for custom plugins.

Update Telemetry Handlers (Optional)

The maintenance plugins now live directly in the Oban namespace:

• Oban.Plugins.Cron becomes Oban.Cron
• Oban.Plugins.Lifeline becomes Oban.Lifeline
• Oban.Plugins.Pruner becomes Oban.Pruner
• Oban.Plugins.Reindexer becomes Oban.Reindexer

The old modules are deprecated shims that delegate to the new ones, and legacy names in configuration are translated automatically. However, because the renamed module is what runs, plugin telemetry metadata and registry keys report the new names. Update any telemetry handlers, log filters, or alerts that match on the old module names:

-def handle_event([:oban, :plugin, :stop], _, %{plugin: Oban.Plugins.Pruner} = meta, _) do
+def handle_event([:oban, :plugin, :stop], _, %{plugin: Oban.Pruner} = meta, _) do

Group Repo Options (Optional)

The top-level log and get_dynamic_repo options are soft-deprecated in favor of passing them through a :repo tuple:

 config :my_app, Oban,
-  repo: MyApp.Repo,
-  log: false,
-  get_dynamic_repo: fn -> MyApp.Repo end
+  repo: {MyApp.Repo, log: false, dynamic_repo: fn -> MyApp.Repo end}

Configure the Stager as a Service (Optional)

The stage_interval option is soft-deprecated in favor of the stager service key, which accepts the same forms as other services:

 config :my_app, Oban,
-  stage_interval: 5_000
+  stager: [interval: {5, :seconds}]

Switch to scheduled_in (Optional)

The schedule_in job option is soft-deprecated in favor of scheduled_in, which pairs naturally with scheduled_at. Testing helpers accept a matching scheduled_in option as well:

-MyApp.Worker.new(%{id: 1}, schedule_in: 3600)
+MyApp.Worker.new(%{id: 1}, scheduled_in: 3600)

All soft-deprecated options continue to work and are rewritten transparently, without deprecation warnings.
