Tron is a centralized system for managing periodic batch processes across a cluster. If you find cron or fcron to be insufficient for managing complex work flows across multiple computers, Tron might be for you.
Install with:
> sudo pip install tron
Or look at the tutorial.
The full documentation is available on ReadTheDocs.
Tron is changing and under active development.
It is being transformed from an ssh-based execution engine to be compatible with running on Kubernetes .
Tron development is specifically targeting Yelp's needs and not designed to be a general solution for other companies.
