We were seeing bugs where 1) jobs would sit indefinitely in “available” and 2) the Oban Web dashboard would sometimes display a count of 0 for all queues.
It seems the root cause for both was:
Oban.Notifiers.PostgresusesPostgrex.SimpleConnection- If the connection to PostgreSQL “goes bad” (stays connected, but stops
responding)… - Then
Postgrex.SimpleConnectionwould seem to reconnect but
actually would not establish a new connection to PostgreSQL (as shown
in thepg_stat_activitytable)… - and from then on, that node would not run Oban jobs and its Oban Web
UI would show count 0 for every queue
This issue has been fixed in postgrex as of v0.20.0, released today.

Details on how we reproduced the bug and confirmed the fix:
Oban.Notifiers.Postgresto look for an ENV var, and, if present, connect to PostgreSQL via a different port, proxied by GitHub - Shopify/toxiproxy: ⏰ A TCP proxy to simulate network and system conditions for chaos and resiliency testing · GitHubpsql, see that there are 3 connections to the database whose last executed query was aLISTENusingSELECT state_change, client_addr, client_port, pid FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'idle' and datname = 'gridpoint_dev' AND query LIKE '%LISTEN%' ORDER BY state_change DESC;curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "name": "immediate_timeout", "type": "timeout", "toxicity": 1.0, "stream": "downstream", "attributes": { "timeout": 0 } }' http://localhost:8474/proxies/postgres/toxicspg_stat_activityquery now shows only 1 connectioncurl -X DELETE http://localhost:8474/proxies/postgres/toxics/immediate_timeoutpg_stat_activitydoes not show the other 2 connections get reestablished, the “available” jobs remain available, and Oban Web on the formerly toxiproxied host keeps showing 0 for queue counts until/unless theOban.Notifiers.Postgresprocess is killed and restarted, at which point that host’s jobs are processed and Oban Web on that host shows correct queue countspg_stat_activityshows the other 2 connections get reestablished, the “available” jobs get processed, and Oban Web on the formerly toxiproxied hosts show correct queue countsTo set up toxiproxy for the usage above:
