Job scheduling made easy, distributed and highly-available

Download Go Pro

Dkron is a system service that runs scheduled jobs at given intervals or times, just like the cron unix service but distributed in several machines in a cluster. If a machine fails (the leader), a follower will take over and keep running the scheduled jobs without human intervention. Dkron is Open Source and freely available.

Characteristics

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 distributed key-value stores, Dkron is designed to be always available. If the 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.
