How to measure execution time for Oban Chunks?
Hi!
I’m running some benchmarks and trying to see how long it takes a job to complete in chunked jobs. I’m running this query
select AVG(completed_at - attempted_at) AS average_duration, PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY completed_at - attempted_at) AS median_duration
from oban_jobs
where worker = 'MyWorker'
which I think would accurately show the execution time of a single job but it’s showing some surprising results (55s - 62s when the expectation is around a second). Do you have any suggestions on how to find the execution time of a single job in a chunk?
Thanks!

Hello,
Measuring the time for a single job won’t be meaningful for a chunk. Instead, we group by chunk.
Each chunk has a leader and that’s recorded in the attempted_by column. So, here is how you could do it based on the query you sent:
with chunk_durations as (
select max(completed_at) - min(attempted_at) as duration, attempted_by as chunk
from oban_jobs
where state = 'completed' and worker = 'MyWorker'
group by attempted_by
)
select avg(duration) from chunk_durations;
The state is set to completed to prevent measuring the in-progress chunks.
Hope this helps!
