🔗 Bridging Elixir and Python with Oban

What choices lay before you when your Elixir app needs functionality that only exists, or is more mature, in Python? There are machine learning models, PDF rendering libraries, and audio/video editing tools without an Elixir equivalent (yet). You could piece together some HTTP calls, or bring in a message queue...but there's a simpler path through Oban.

Whether you're enabling disparate teams to collaborate, gradually migrating from one language to another, or leveraging packages that are lacking in one ecosystem, having a mechanism to transparently exchange durable jobs between Elixir and Python opens up new possibilities.

On that tip, let's build a small example to demonstrate how trivial bridging can be. We'll call it "Badge Forge".
