Description
We've been using
expirein
for reminder, delete and boost jobs far into the future. We thoughtexpirein > startafter
would make sure they don't disappear before they get run. However,expirein
is for how long a job can stay in the active state:-- https://timgit.github.io/pg-boss/#/./api/jobs
The docs aren't clear, but I assume
keepuntil
is called "Retention options" in the docs and they state this:So we want to use
keepuntil
instead ofexpirein
for reminder, delete and boost jobs.Our defaults via
\d pgboss.job
:expirein
: 15 minuteskeepuntil
: 14 daysTODO:
reschedule reminderssince the jobs are just for the push notifications, I decided to not reschedule them to avoid duplicate push notifications for past or future reminders
reschedule deleteswon't do in this PR because I need an up-to-date db dump from prod after this was deployed
keepuntil
added migration
Additional Context
We could add a constraint on
pgboss.job
to make sure thatkeepuntil
>startafter
since I think any such case is a bug.Checklist
