Jobnik SDK

TypeScript SDK for interacting with the Jobnik job management system. Provides type-safe clients for creating jobs, processing tasks, and monitoring workflows with built-in observability and resilience patterns.

Features

• Type-Safe API: Full TypeScript support with custom job and stage type definitions
• Producer Client: Create and manage jobs, stages, and tasks
• Worker Client: Automated task processing with configurable concurrency
• Circuit Breaker Protection: Built-in resilience for handling failures
• Observability: Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry distributed tracing
• Graceful Shutdown: Coordinated shutdown with running task completion

Installation

npm install @map-colonies/jobnik-sdk

Requirements: Node.js >= 24

Quick Start

Initialize the SDK

import { JobnikSDK } from '@map-colonies/jobnik-sdk';

const sdk = new JobnikSDK({
  baseUrl: 'https://api.jobnik.example.com'
  metricsRegistry: new Registry()
});

Define Custom Types (Optional)

interface MyJobTypes {
  'image-processing': {
    userMetadata: { userId: string };
    data: { imageUrl: string };
  };
}

interface MyStageTypes {
  'resize': {
    userMetadata: { quality: number };
    data: { width: number; height: number };
    task: {
      userMetadata: { batchId: string };
      data: { sourceUrl: string; targetPath: string };
    };
  };
}

const sdk = new JobnikSDK<MyJobTypes, MyStageTypes>({
  baseUrl: 'https://api.jobnik.example.com'
  metricsRegistry: new Registry()
});

Create Jobs (Producer)

const producer = sdk.getProducer();

// Create a job
const job = await producer.createJob({
  name: 'image-processing',
  data: { imageUrl: 'https://example.com/image.jpg' },
  userMetadata: { userId: 'user-123' },
  priority: 'HIGH'
});

// Add a stage to the job
const stage = await producer.createStage(job.id, {
  type: 'resize',
  data: { width: 800, height: 600 },
  userMetadata: { quality: 90 }
});

// Add tasks to the stage
const task = await producer.createTask(stage.id, {
  data: { sourceUrl: 'https://example.com/image.jpg', targetPath: '/output/resized.jpg' },
  userMetadata: { batchId: 'batch-1' }
});

Process Tasks (Worker)

// Define task handler
const taskHandler = async (task, context) => {
  const { sourceUrl, targetPath } = task.data;
  
  context.logger.info('Processing task', { taskId: task.id });
  
  // Your processing logic here
  await resizeImage(sourceUrl, targetPath);
  
  // Check for cancellation during shutdown
  if (context.signal.aborted) {
    throw new Error('Task cancelled');
  }
};

// Create and start worker using the SDK
const worker = sdk.createWorker(
  'resize',
  taskHandler,
  {
    concurrency: 5,
    backoffOptions: {
      initialBaseRetryDelayMs: 1000,
      maxDelayMs: 60000,
      backoffFactor: 2
    }
  }
);

await worker.start();

// Graceful shutdown
process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
  await worker.stop();
});

Observability

Prometheus Metrics

import { Registry } from 'prom-client';

const registry = new Registry();
const sdk = new JobnikSDK({
  baseUrl: 'https://api.jobnik.example.com',
  metricsRegistry: registry
});

// Expose metrics endpoint
app.get('/metrics', async (req, res) => {
  res.set('Content-Type', registry.contentType);
  res.send(await registry.metrics());
});

OpenTelemetry Tracing

The SDK automatically creates spans for all operations when OpenTelemetry is configured in your application. Trace context is propagated through jobs, stages, and tasks.

Configuration Options

const sdk = new JobnikSDK({
  baseUrl: string;                    // Required: Jobnik API base URL
  httpClientOptions?: {               // Optional: HTTP client configuration
    retry?: {                         // Retry configuration
      maxRetries?: number;            // Maximum number of retries
      statusCodes?: number[];         // HTTP status codes to retry
      errorCodes?: string[];          // Error codes to retry
      initialBaseRetryDelayMs?: number; // Initial base delay in ms
      disableJitter?: boolean;        // Disable random jitter in delay
      maxJitterFactor?: number;       // Maximum jitter factor
    };
    agentOptions?: Agent.Options;     // HTTP agent options
  };
  logger?: Logger;                    // Optional: Custom logger (defaults to NoopLogger)
  metricsRegistry: Registry;          // Required: Prometheus registry for metrics
});
