Welcome to Lava¶
Lava is an AWS based distributed scheduler and job runner.
Lava has been used extensively in a large, business critical data warehouse / data lake environment to run tens of thousands of jobs a day on a 24x7 basis, with jobs lasting anywhere between a few seconds and 12 hours.
Lava was developed at Origin Energy as part of the Jindabyne initiative. While not part of our core IP, it proved valuable internally, and we're sharing it in the hope it's useful to others.
Kudos to Origin for fostering a culture that empowers its people to build complex technology solutions in-house.
