PowerJob is an open-source distributed computing and job scheduling framework which allows developers to easily schedule tasks in their own application.

Features

• Friendly UI: Front-end page is provided and developers can manage their task, monitor the status, check the logs online, etc.
• Abundant Timing Strategies: Four timing strategies are supported, including CRON expression, fixed rate, fixed delay and OpenAPI.
• Multiple Execution Mode: Four execution modes are supported, including stand-alone, broadcast, Map and MapReduce. Distributed computing resource could be utilized in MapReduce mode, try the magic out here!
• DAG Job Flow Support: Both job dependency management and data communications between jobs are supported.
• Extensive Processor Support: Developers can write their processors in Java or Shell and Python scripts. Cross-language support will be achieved via HTTP in the nearby future.
• Disaster Tolerance Support: As long as there are enough computing nodes, configurable retry policies make it possible for your task to be executed and finished successfully.
