> Several engineers suggest that Aurora is more robust, though more difficult to set up, than Chronos. I haven’t evaluated Aurora yet, but it’s likely worth looking in to. I've tried out Aurora (and helped improve the setup docs a small bit) and found it quite nice. If you're going to try it out use vagrant, and to deploy it in production I suggest working off the Vagrant setup: https://github.com/apache/aurora/blob/master/examples/vagrant/provision-dev-cluster.sh https://github.com/apache/aurora/blob/master/examples/vagran... > Instrument your jobs to identify whether they ran or not Prometheus.io let's you alert on when the job last succeeded, which is generally what you want. http://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/pushing/ http://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/pushing/ has a full example for Java.
