Crocodile is a distributed task scheduling system written in Go with a web UI for managing scheduled tasks. It supports HTTP request tasks and running shell, Python, Node.js, and Go code across worker nodes, with real-time logs, task dependencies, and Redis/MySQL backing.

Use cases

• schedule cron jobs across multiple servers
• run shell scripts on a schedule with a web UI
• distribute periodic tasks to worker machines
• trigger HTTP requests on a schedule
• chain parent and child tasks with dependencies
• view real-time logs of running scheduled tasks
• self-hosted alternative to cron with alerting

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted distributed scheduler with a web interface
• you want to run scripts or HTTP tasks across many worker nodes
• you need real-time task logs and the ability to kill running tasks
• you want task dependency chains and retry/alerting features

When to avoid

• you only need simple single-machine cron scheduling
• you don't want to operate Redis and MySQL dependencies
• you need a fully managed cloud scheduler
• your tasks require runtimes not supported by the workers
