This looks nice, but very similar to a bunch of existing projects like http://www.celeryproject.org/ Are there any clear differentiators?

Also, I understand it's a new project, but some more documentation would be helpful. E.g., how does one backup and restore the tasks and settings? Does it provide alerting when a job fails?

Very cool, would you say this is like Huginn but in nodejs? Or IFTTT/Zapier but self hosted?
