TheSchwartz

An open source, scalable job processing system that both operations and engineers will love. From http://brad.livejournal.com/2250519.html: TheSchwartz is fire and forget. Higher latency (seconds or more), but it'll get done, according to the rules you put down for it. (regarding backoff policies and retries...) like sending an email. who cares if it takes 5 seconds, but *** if you're gonna sit around and wait for it. you just want to be confident it'll work. and you're given a handle so you can check on its return code (or current errors or error history) later, if policy for the job you've submitted is set to retain that exit status. http://code.sixapart.com/trac/TheSchwartz
