Top 23 Python Dask Projects

From what I've seen, there are sort of two paths. I'll provide a well known example from each.
1. lang specific distributed task library
For example, in Python, celery is a pretty popular task system. If you (the dev) are the one doing all the code and running the workflows, it might work well for you. You build the core code and functions, and it handles the processing and resource stuff with a little config.

Or lower level:
* https://github.com/dask/dask
2. DAG Workflow systems
There are also whole systems for what you're describing. They've gotten especially popular in the ML ops and data engineering world. A common one is AirFlow:
