Patterns

This section collects small, practical patterns for common Absurd use cases.

Available Patterns

• Cron Jobs — ensure each cron slot is enqueued exactly once, even with multiple scheduler replicas.
• Deploying and Rolling Rollouts — roll out new task types safely without adding hot-path claim overhead.
• Living with Code Changes — version steps or normalize old checkpoint data when long-lived tasks resume against newer code.
• Pi AI Agent — persist message_end events as durable steps and resume agent loops safely after retries.
