As is customary, in this video Marco Behler, Anton Arhipov, Siva Prasad Reddy K and I show you what’s new in the IntelliJ IDEA 2026.3 release.
In this episode of IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talks, I talk to Ronald Dehuysser about JobRunr.
What happens when your invoices end up on a dead letter queue? If you’re Ronald Dehuysser, you build an open source library to make sure it never happens again.
In this episode, Ronald, creator of JobRunr, joins us to talk about running background jobs in Java. He shows how to set up JobRunr with Spring Boot, enqueue and schedule jobs, and keep an eye on them in the built-in dashboard. And he explains why he loves exceptions. (Yes, really.)
We also cover carbon-aware job scheduling, recurring jobs (and why nobody likes writing cron expressions), whether you need Kafka, and the time-traveling bug that took years to track down.
