Benefits
SchedulerX 2.0 is a fully managed job scheduling service that removes the overhead of maintaining scheduler infrastructure. Instead of provisioning servers, configuring high availability, and building monitoring, connect your applications to SchedulerX 2.0 and focus on your business logic.
High availability
Self-managed schedulers require you to handle failover, replication, and disaster recovery. SchedulerX 2.0 provides a built-in high-availability architecture with a multi-replica job protection mechanism that eliminates this burden.
Proven at production scale: SchedulerX 2.0 has been validated through disaster recovery drills and real-world production workloads at Alibaba Group, including Double 11 traffic peaks.
Data center fault tolerance: Services continue running smoothly even during data center failures.
Security
SchedulerX 2.0 provides layered security controls that protect your scheduling infrastructure across network, tenant, and permission boundaries.
Network and access protection: All traffic is secured through HTTPS and virtual private clouds (VPCs), backed by Alibaba Cloud security technologies to protect against attacks.
Tenant isolation: Each tenant is isolated across regions, namespaces, and applications, preventing cross-tenant interference.
Permission control: Read and write permissions on the SchedulerX console, with authenticated access to clients.
High performance
SchedulerX 2.0 schedules jobs with a precision of seconds, enabling tighter control over time-sensitive workloads. Lightweight distributed computing models support batch processing across your application fleet in near real time.
Zero operations and low cost
SchedulerX 2.0 is fully managed -- no servers to provision, no O&M manpower to pay for.
Quick onboarding: Connect your applications in a few steps.
Cost-effective Basic Edition: Run at one-third the cost of a self-managed open-source scheduler.
Professional Edition with built-in integrations: Receive alert notifications through text messages and phone calls. SchedulerX 2.0 Professional Edition integrates with Simple Log Service and Managed Service for OpenTelemetry, providing log entries, traces, and a monitoring dashboard at no additional cost.
