This seems similar to Hangfire/Quartz. What does Runly do differently/better?

EDIT: Any plans to support other languages, e.g. everyone's favourite language to hate (JavaScript)?

They are similar in that they are all job frameworks and you can run background jobs through them. Runly tries to be more prescriptive than Hangfire/Quartz in that jobs should process lists of items. We think this captures a lot of problems that developers deal with everyday. It also allows us to build goodies on top of jobs like multi-threading, retries, scaling, and UI status/progress. Check us out at https://www.runly.io

Progress reporting is something my company's in-house offline processing system has been lacklustre at (we overloaded it with a ton of uses like chained processes, without considering the usability penalty when managing this without an appropriate UI).

Does Runly have some way to set up something like a dependency graph, such as

      /--B--\
  A---+     +---D
      \--C--/
  
  ---->time---->

such that it can show you "hey, part B failed and this is blocking part D"?

We provide rich components to use in your app to report status and progress of your jobs.

Chained jobs/workflows is something that is on our roadmap.

I am interested in support for other languages; so I'm gonna echo tullo_x86's inquiry. You seem to have missed it. Thanks

We are currently working on Node.js integration. It's not quite ready for prime time but let me know if you'd like to help us test it!

Are there any other languages you'd like to see?

Python?

Yeah, sure. Why not?
