Please note: Don't let the version scare you off. TaskBotJS is at version 0.1.0 not due to incompleteness, but rather because I don't want to make the firm guarantees that a "1.0" version implies without strong guarantees about the software as a whole, including documentation and examples. I consider TaskBotJS to be production-ready, I have used it in production, and if there are any problems as new users test TaskBotJS in ways I haven't, I'll be responsive to those issues on GitHub.
Initial software release!
- Performs immediate jobs through
perform. - Schedules jobs for later execution through
scheduleInandscheduleAt. - Takes jobs from multiple queues, which can be weighted for preferential treatment.
- Jobs can retry on failure, with per-job configurable retry strategies.
- Lifecycle events for major events, such as a job failing.
- Provides high-level cluster-wide metrics.
- A starting point for the web UI, written in React and Express.
- Pro: provides more granular, per-worker metrics.
- Pro: expiring jobs: "if this job hasn't executed by this time, don't run it."
- Pro: reliable queueing: should TaskBotJS shut down gracelessly due to an error, jobs will be detected as orphaned and returned to the job queue.
- Pro: batching and orchestration: develop a dependency tree for a set of jobs and execute them only when dependencies have been satisfied.
