MongoJob is a job queuing system inspired by Resque, and using MongoDB as a backend.
MongoJob is specifically designed to handle both long and short-term jobs.
- Persistent, database-backed queues and jobs
- Worker based on EventMachine
- Multiple ways to invoke jobs by the worker: process forking, fiber (for non-blocking jobs), blocking (in-line)
- Pinging and reporting - workers report status every few seconds
- Jobs with status - jobs can report progress and set custom status
- Web interface with current workers, jobs etc.
- MongoJob-deamon that monitors workers and jobs, kills timed-out ones
- Job rescheduling upon failure
- Cron-like job scheduling
- More complete web interface
- Command-line interface
- Documentation
The library is in early stage of development. If you are looking for a robust job scheduling system, I bet Resque is much more stable now and I highly recommend it to anyone.
