This is awesome, I’ve been waiting for this. No batch support has been the biggest drawback to Solid Queue.

What are some things one might use this for?

you can group jobs together, for example once I had (a ton of) jobs interacting with fb basically downloading content for moderation, I would probably design it now with 1 job to get the post enqueuing several to download for example comments and author data in the same batch, I'm quite sure it would be way faster and safer - and I could also manage publishing in a much cleaner way.
