Examples
Real-world examples from Blazing Batch's production test suite
Learn Blazing Batch through real-world examples extracted from our production test suite of 100+ unit tests.
Getting Started
Basic Task Execution
Create and execute your first distributed task.
You'll learn:
- Initialize a Blazing app
- Create tasks with
create_workflow_task() - Retrieve results with
gather() - Proper resource cleanup
Time: 5 minutes
Parallel Execution
Execute multiple tasks concurrently for maximum throughput.
You'll learn:
- Create batch tasks efficiently
- Achieve 4-10x speedup with parallelization
- Optimize for different workload sizes
- Monitor concurrency levels
Time: 10 minutes
Advanced Topics
Error Handling
Handle failures, edge cases, and ensure pipeline resilience.
You'll learn:
- Validate parameters and workflows
- Handle timeouts and network failures
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
- Manage partial failures in batch operations
Time: 15 minutes
Concurrency Patterns
Master CRDT queue operations and multi-node coordination.
You'll learn:
- CRDT-based queue architecture
- Lock-free distributed operations
- Multi-app isolation patterns
- Network resilience strategies
Time: 20 minutes
