App screenshot

Dkron is a system service for workload automation that runs scheduled jobs, just like unix cron service but distributed in several machines in a cluster. This is the only job scheduler in the market with truly no SPOF. It is open source and available for free.

Features

Easy integration

Dkron is easy to setup and use. Choose your OS package and it's ready to run out-of-the-box. The administration panel and it's simple JSON API makes a breeze to integrate with you current workflow or deploy system.

Always available

Using the power of the Raft protocol, Dkron is designed to be always available. If the cluster leader node fails, a follower will replace it, all without human intervention.

Flexible targets

Simple but powerful tag-based target node selection for jobs. Tag node count allows to run jobs in an arbitrary number of nodes in the same group or groups.

What people are saying

Dkron is an essential part of our fault-tolerant distributed automation workflow. Its deceptively simple setup hides a well implemented architecture. Using established tools to coordinate our large number of endpoints, allows us to set-and-forget many of the tasks that would normally require a single, dedicated server.

Geoff Jukes
Director of Information Technology, Blackstone Publishing

Dkron is an essential piece of our infrastructure: you can trust that the cron jobs will execute. Also, Dkron help us to identify failed cron jobs really fast. The system and the API are very easy to use and well designed. Will definitely keep using it!
