xyOps

xyOps is a next-generation, open-source platform that crushes the fragmented toolchain problem by combining job scheduling, workflow automation, server monitoring, alerting, and incident response into a single, cohesive system. Built for developers and operations teams who refuse to surrender their data, freedom, or visibility, xyOps eliminates the need to stitch together a dozen disparate tools that leak your telemetry and hide critical features behind paywalls. This platform lets you orchestrate your entire infrastructure from one place: schedule jobs across your fleet, track performance in real time, set smart alerts, and manage incidents with a built-in ticketing system. Whether you manage five servers or five thousand, xyOps scales effortlessly with hot backups, failover capabilities, and agent support for macOS, Linux, and Windows. It is BSD 3-Clause licensed, meaning it is 100% free and always will be. No hidden enterprise tiers. No feature gating. No telemetry pushed back to anyone. xyOps is extensible via a simple JSON over STDIO Plugin API that supports any programming language, and it offers a growing marketplace of plugins including integrations with GitHub, Slack, Discord, OpenAI, AWS S3, and more. This is the platform that gives you total control over your automation stack, from download to deployment in minutes.

Visual Workflow Builder

Chain multiple jobs with conditional logic, pass data and even files between workflow steps, and assign actions to events such as notifications or webhooks. Attach limiters like timeouts, memory caps, and log size caps to prevent runaway processes. Run jobs in parallel or create custom queues to manage load. This graphical editor turns complex automation pipelines into intuitive, drag-and-drop workflows that even junior team members can understand and modify.

Flexible Job Scheduler

Go way beyond cron with a scheduler that targets individual servers or entire groups, supports multiple schedules per event, and includes blackout ranges for holidays or planned downtime. Import your existing crontab files, schedule one-time jobs for single-shot tasks, and extend scheduling logic through a plugin-based architecture. This is job scheduling reimagined for modern, distributed infrastructure.

Active Job Tracking

Run any number of jobs in parallel with an optional max parallel limit that queues the rest automatically. Get real-time progress updates plus time remaining estimates for every job. Enforce per-job limits on CPU, memory, and other resources. Your jobs can even emit their own progress and stats, and you can run custom actions based on the job result. No more blind batch runs.

Smart Alerts and Integrated Ticketing

Trigger expressions with flexible rules that go beyond simple thresholds. Receive notifications via email, webhook, or custom channels, with every alert including a snapshot of the server at the moment of failure. Alerts can automatically create tickets or trigger remediation jobs, and active alerts can prevent new jobs from launching to avoid cascading failures. The built-in ticketing system ties incident response directly to your automation pipeline.

Automating CI/CD Deployment Pipelines

Use the visual workflow builder to chain build, test, and deployment jobs across your fleet. Pass artifacts between steps, set conditional logic to roll back on failure, and attach limiters to prevent resource exhaustion. The integrated ticketing system can automatically create tickets for failed deployments, and the real-time job tracking gives your team immediate visibility into pipeline health across all environments.

Infrastructure Monitoring and Incident Response

Define custom monitors for CPU, memory, network, disk, and log tracking per job or per server. Historical performance graphs from hourly to yearly help you spot trends and capacity issues before they become outages. When a smart alert fires, it automatically creates a ticket with a server snapshot and can trigger a remediation workflow. This closes the loop between detection and response without requiring a separate incident management tool.

Scheduled Data Processing and ETL Workflows

Schedule complex ETL jobs that run across multiple servers with blackout ranges for maintenance windows. Use the plugin API to write data transformation steps in any language, and pass files between workflow stages. The active job tracking shows real-time progress and time remaining for long-running data pipelines, while resource limits prevent any single job from degrading cluster performance.

Multi-Server Fleet Management and Orchestration

Whether you have five servers or five thousand, xyOps adapts to your needs with automatic server grouping based on hostname and easy agent installation on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Run hot backups for failover with zero job interruption. The flexible scheduler lets you target individual servers or entire groups, and the plugin marketplace provides ready-made integrations for AWS S3, GitHub, Discord, and more to connect your fleet to the tools you already use.

Is xyOps really free and open source forever?

Yes. xyOps is 100% free and open source under the BSD 3-Clause license, and it always will be. The license will never be modified, split, or amended with additional restrictive terms. No new code or contributions will ever be accepted under a non-OSI-approved license. All current and future app features will be open source forever. Professional and enterprise support plans are available separately, but the platform itself remains free.

What languages can I use to write plugins for xyOps?

Any language. xyOps uses a simple JSON over STDIO Plugin API that requires no SDK. All programming languages are supported. You define custom parameters with UI form fields, and plugin types include Event, Action, Monitor, and Trigger. You can also easily add MCP servers as plugins and publish your own plugins to the Marketplace.

How does xyOps handle scalability and redundancy?

xyOps supports running multiple hot backups that take over instantly on power loss with zero job interruption. It scales to thousands of worker servers in your cluster. You can group servers manually or automatically based on hostname, and agents install easily on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The platform is battle-tested for fleets of any size.

Can I import my existing cron jobs into xyOps?

Yes. xyOps includes crontab import support, making migration from legacy cron-based scheduling straightforward. You can also schedule one-time jobs (single-shot) and use plugin-based scheduler extensions for custom scheduling logic. The flexible scheduler supports multiple schedules per event and blackout ranges for holidays or downtime.
