#520 Jul 27, 2025 pro

In this episode, we look at situations when an external API does not have a normal rate limit, but instead has concurrency limits. This can also apply to situations where you have limited resources on the API that you're calling. This can also work well in other situations where the background job is accessing limited resources.

#498 Mar 2, 2025 free

In this episode we look at processing background jobs in a way that can conditionally send the work to be processed to different queues. This can be very powerful in situations where you need to process the job in different ways or send requests to different APIs.
