  • JobRunr

    An extremely easy way to perform background processing in Java. Backed by persistent storage. Open and free for commercial use.

  • Is there a lightweight background job runner framework in Scala? Something that's backed by a database so the jobs are durable? I found jobrunr which seems like a great framework, but it's Java and doesn't have an async API (i.e. each job is assumed to be blocking and runs on its own thread).

  • scala-webapp-template

    A pragmatic skeleton to build web applications in Scala/Scala.js, including user registration, login, admin portal, and, deployments

  • https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template does something very similar with akka-stream but it is tied to send emails on the background, it seems that we can easily extend it to support arbitrary jobs (https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/294). What is not so simple to do with such a schema is to distribute the jobs in many servers.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Quartz

    Code for Quartz Scheduler

  • Long time I used http://www.quartz-scheduler.org which worked nicely, I wonder why Scala does not seem to have something standard for this.

  • quartz4s

    Quarts scheduler library based on cats-effect

  • Maybe quartz4s?
