Job Management

Background job management for large data extractions and processing with comprehensive monitoring and control.

When Jobs Are Created:

• Large datasets: >100,000 rows automatically trigger job processing
• File size threshold: >50MB estimated output size
• Explicit job mode: User specifically requests job processing
• System load balancing: High system load triggers job queuing
• Complex queries: Resource-intensive extractions
• Scheduled extractions: Automated recurring data pulls

Job Lifecycle States:

1. Queued - Job created and waiting for available processing resources
2. Running - Data extraction in progress with real-time progress updates
3. Completed - Data successfully extracted and available for download via S3
4. Failed - Error occurred during processing with detailed error information
5. Cancelled - Job manually cancelled by user or system timeout

Job Processing Features:

• Real-time progress tracking - Live percentage completion (0-100%)
• Row count monitoring - Current number of processed records
• Time estimation - Estimated completion time based on current progress
• Resource allocation - Dedicated processing resources for optimal performance
• Error handling - Detailed error messages and recovery suggestions
• Automatic retries - Built-in retry logic for transient failures
