ndscheduler is a flexible Python library for building your own cron-like job scheduling system. It runs a Tornado server that exposes REST APIs and a single-page web UI for managing, scheduling, and auditing jobs.
Use cases
- replace cron with a centralized job scheduler
- schedule recurring jobs with a web UI
- build a custom cron-like system in Python
- manage scheduled jobs via REST APIs
- audit who ran which job and when
- pause and resume scheduled jobs from a dashboard
When to choose
- you need a self-hosted cron replacement with a web dashboard
- you want programmatic control of scheduled jobs through REST APIs
- you need audit logs of job executions
- you want to embed scheduling into your own Python service
When to avoid
- you just need simple cron on a single machine
- you need a distributed task queue like Celery with worker scaling
- you require Python 2/3 support on Windows
- you need a fully maintained project with frequent releases
