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.
