Kala is in Alpha stage. Dalga is stable and used in production ~2 years at https://put.io.

#6Why Dalga instead of plain cron?
* Dalga stores jobs in a MySQL table which is handy if you are already using MySQL (backups, etc.)
* Dalga can schedule one-off jobs.
* Dalga has built-in retry mechanism.

#7Does Dalga support job dependencies? I.e. job A can only run after e.g. job B and C have finished first.

#8Why Dalga instead of plain cron?
In large setups, it is usually clever to isolate job execution policy into a separate system. This simplifies a lot of contextual configuration of the system at large.
You can have cron emit the cascading event if you want but you often need a system which can "prod" other systems and ask them to do things because of a timing event. In such systems, cron often falls short as the system around it grows.
For local timing of events, cron is a really good tool however, and I wouldn't hesitate about using it there. It is for system-wide events these general job schedulers tend to help.

So I should probably ask the same question in the other thread :)
