## What it is
JobRunner is a Go framework for running jobs asynchronously outside the HTTP request flow, with built-in cron scheduling and a worker pool. It also provides live monitoring of job state exposed as JSON or an HTML status page.

## Use cases
- schedule background jobs with cron in a Go web app
- send emails after signup without blocking the HTTP response
- run periodic cleanup of database or S3 data
- monitor active and scheduled jobs via a status endpoint
- offload slow work from API request handlers

## When to avoid
- you need distributed job processing across multiple instances or a durable message queue
- you require a standalone worker system like Sidekiq-style architectures or microservices
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: scheduling, workflow-automation, concurrency
- domain: backend, web-development
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: cron, background-jobs, job-queue, in-process-workers, gin, job-monitoring, automation
