We are planning to create a scheduler module. There is an external service which provides all the necessary tasks for the scheduler and the scheduler must invoke these tasks at intervals. Scheduler has various use cases and the scheduling would change drastically and dynamically based for data from the data store. We do not want to include this functionality as a part of the system(in play framework) which we are currently building but rather have a standalone process to execute the scheduling.
Considering the above mentioned use case, would Akka MicroKernel serve the purpose or should we think of deploying the scheduler in some other container or application server(If so which one would guys prefer)?
