This is a small project that i've been meaning to launch for quite some time. Cronrunner is a job scheduler addon for Heroku applications, similar to standard scheduler but more powerful: you can define jobs with cron, set timezone, see history and receive error notifications. No need to setup webhooks or background jobs.
I've been using this addon internally for many months and finally decided to clean up and make a public site. The addon is not listed on the marketplace yet, i just need a bunch of test users to try it out, once it's done i can move it to the beta phase.
There is no dependency graph between the jobs, i think this would be the case for a specialized tool. Cronrunner is very simple when it comes to job definition.
As for cron jobs, there's a bit of validation involved. The jobs are not executed with the old cron daemon, im using cron-like implementation in my stack. The logs are produces by Heroku platform so im just saving those, no magic at all.
