Cronally is an API-driven platform that allows developers and system administrators to schedule cron jobs for their products running on clusters of AWS instances. Our platform itself operates in AWS and eliminates the fragile and unreliable workarounds that are often implemented to provide scheduled job support. Cronally is designed to make it easy to run a cron job on a single instance in your cluster or all of them at once.
Keep the code on your side; we'll tell you when to run it.
CLOUD PLATFORM: Cronally is hosted on AWS and backed by a distributed datastore. Redundant workers safely publish to your SNS topic at the appropriate times, eliminating the vulnerability of single-host crond setups.
AWS SNS: By publishing to an SNS topic , you have the flexiblity to execute the cron job as you see fit. Dispatch to an SQS queue, ping a URL, execute an AWS Lambda function; it's your call.
Cronally supports most standard cron formats allowing you to use existing entries from your crontab.
SECURITY: Cronally requires the AWS credentials of a user with write access to the SNS topic of your choosing. Keys are stored using AES encryption and only decrypted as necessary.
