TaskForge is an open-source distributed job scheduler designed to handle complex asynchronous workflows, database bottlenecks, and worker crashes in enterprise environments. It uses PostgreSQL for ACID-compliant job state management and RabbitMQ for message queuing, implementing atomic job claims and exponential backoff retries. The system is tested rigorously with integration tests simulating failure scenarios such as duplicate messages, worker crashes, and network disconnects. It is deployed on cloud infrastructure with resource constraints, demonstrating practical engineering tradeoffs and failure handling.
