The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Building a distributed scheduler
Pager Duty Scheduler checks a lot of requirements. The main problem is it uses Cassandra and Kafka; we don’t have any experience for both neither do we have other use cases than the scheduler which will need Cassandra or Kafka. I’m always reluctant to hosting new database systems, database systems are complex by nature and are not easy when it comes to scaling them. It’s a no go then.

Building a distributed scheduler
OVH Metronome seems to check all the requirements, the point is it requires KAFKA and we already host similar services. But I can live with that, the main problem IMO is that it hasn’t been updated since November 2018 and it lacks a documentation on how to set this up, and how to schedule jobs. In the other hand I really like the idea of decoupling scheduling and execution, it’ll allow us to rely on a single scheduler no matter if we want to schedule jobs using Go, Scala or whatever language we’ll had in the future.
What are some alternatives?
