Here's Deadline: https://deadline.thinkboxsoftware.com/ I used it in the past, along with the render queues at a few VFX studios. Very feature rich process scheduling and scaling managers are in heavy use by media productions.

Thanks. In the end it is similar to Gaia (a task scheduler) but also comparable with Jenkins/TravisCI/CircleCI and probably hundreds more schedulers. :-) The basic idea is not new.

In my opinion Gaia is perfect for programmers which are "forced" to write automation tasks. It allows you to write automation tasks in your preferred programming language and makes it super easy for you to schedule them because Gaia comes with an automatic build feature (just provide the git url of your source code and Gaia does the rest). Additionally, Gaia is super fast, lightweight and open-source.
