[PowerJob](https://github.com/PowerJob/PowerJob) is an open-source distributed computing and job scheduling framework which allows developers to easily schedule tasks in their own application.
Refer to [PowerJob Introduction](https://www.yuque.com/powerjob/en/introduce) for detailed information.
# Introduction
### Features
- **Friendly UI:** [Front-end](http://try.powerjob.tech/#/welcome?appName=powerjob-agent-test&password=123) page is provided and developers can manage their task, monitor the status, check the logs online, etc.
- **Abundant Timing Strategies:** Four timing strategies are supported, including CRON expression, fixed rate, fixed delay and OpenAPI which allows you to define your own scheduling policies, such as delaying execution.
- **Multiple Execution Mode:** Four execution modes are supported, including stand-alone, broadcast, Map and MapReduce. Distributed computing resource could be utilized in MapReduce mode, try the magic out [here](https://www.yuque.com/powerjob/en/za1d96#9YOnV)!
- **Workflow(DAG) Support:** Both job dependency management and data communications between jobs are supported.
- **Extensive Processor Support:** Developers can write their processors in Java, Shell, Python, and will subsequently support multilingual scheduling via HTTP.
- **Powerful Disaster Tolerance:** As long as there are enough computing nodes, configurable retry policies make it possible for your task to be executed and finished successfully.
- **High Availability & High Performance:** PowerJob supports unlimited horizontal expansion. It's easy to achieve high availability and performance by deploying as many PowerJob server and worker nodes.
### Applicable scenes
- Timed tasks, for example, allocating e-coupons on 9 AM every morning.
- Broadcast tasks, for example, broadcasting to the cluster to clear logs.
- MapReduce tasks, for example, speeding up certain job like updating large amounts of data.
- Delayed tasks, for example, processing overdue orders.
- Customized tasks, triggered with [OpenAPI](https://www.yuque.com/powerjob/en/openapi).
