samdolan805··on Kala: A Modern Job Scheduler (written in Go)
Feel free to throw issues into the GH tracker so we can get them on the roadmap.

My initial use case for this is for complicated time-based triggers that would be an absolute PITA/impossible to model in cron. We both felt the pain of setting up celery, etc.; @ajvb took that pain and put this together.

Shouldn't be too hard. I threw in an issue to track it: https://github.com/ajvb/kala/issues/41

We work together there. We actually both started working on a job scheduler independently, but joined forces and he ran with it. It's @ajvb's personal project, but we'll be using it at 222 labs for sure. You can shoot me an email at my username without the numbers @ gmail.com and I'll hook in @ajvb to the thread.

Can you start an issue so we can start discussing what this would look like? What kind of APIs would you need for this?

I work with @ajvb. We'll be working on getting this into production over the next 2 months. To do so, we'll be working on adding redis as a backend and making it distributable. The goal is to make it really easy to get started, but be able to scale out to bigger production systems easily.

@ajvb has plans for an awesome dashboard as well to complement this :) Stay tuned... good things ahead.
