Roadmap Reference

P1 — Error handling and resilience

Problem

_jobs in api.py is an in-memory dict. Any API restart (e.g. after a crash, rolling deploy, or container restart) wipes all job history. Users polling /jobs/{job_id} get 404 errors for jobs that were started before the restart.

What to do

  • Add a jobs table to the PostgreSQL schema (columns: job_id, status, progress, total_companies, completed_companies, result_json, error, created_at, updated_at).
  • Refactor _run_batch_job and the job status endpoints to read/write from the database instead of _jobs.
  • Remove the _jobs and _job_counter module-level globals.
  • Add a database migration script (or update scripts/init_database.py) for the new table.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A job started before an API restart is still retrievable via /jobs/{job_id} after restart.
  • /jobs lists persisted jobs correctly.
  • A job in running state at restart is marked failed (or unknown) on next startup to avoid stuck states.
## Roadmap Reference P1 — Error handling and resilience ## Problem `_jobs` in `api.py` is an in-memory dict. Any API restart (e.g. after a crash, rolling deploy, or container restart) wipes all job history. Users polling `/jobs/{job_id}` get 404 errors for jobs that were started before the restart. ## What to do - Add a `jobs` table to the PostgreSQL schema (columns: `job_id`, `status`, `progress`, `total_companies`, `completed_companies`, `result_json`, `error`, `created_at`, `updated_at`). - Refactor `_run_batch_job` and the job status endpoints to read/write from the database instead of `_jobs`. - Remove the `_jobs` and `_job_counter` module-level globals. - Add a database migration script (or update `scripts/init_database.py`) for the new table. ## Acceptance Criteria - A job started before an API restart is still retrievable via `/jobs/{job_id}` after restart. - `/jobs` lists persisted jobs correctly. - A job in `running` state at restart is marked `failed` (or `unknown`) on next startup to avoid stuck states.
