As if Oban invented anything, like queues on RDMS is not a new concept at all. Oban is 4 years old, do you know how many queues baked by DB were created in the last 10years?

I don't see Sidekiq credited on the main page of Oban.

I’d argue strongly that Oban did invent things, including parts of the underlying structure used in River, and the authors agree that it was a heavy influence.

While there is no overlap in technology or structure with Sidekiq, the original Oban announcement on the ElixirForum mentions it along with all of the direct influences:

>>Thaxll+(OP)
Not sure if you meant to compare to Sidekiq (which uses Redis). But delayed-job and que are both projects that stretch back much more than 4 years in the ruby ecosystem that leverage relational databases as well.
