Build Status Documentation Status

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.
