Cavalcade is a scalable job system, designed as a drop-in replacement for

WordPress's built-in pseudo-cron system.

![Flowchart of how Cavalcade works](http://i.imgur.com/nyTFDfR.png)

From the WordPress side, none of your code needs to change. Cavalcade

transparently integrates with the existing wp-cron functions to act as a full

replacement. Cavalcade pushes these jobs off into their own database table for

efficient storage.

At the core of Cavalcade is the job runner. The runner is a daemon that

supervises the entire system. The runner constantly checks the database for new

jobs, and is responsible for spawning and managing workers to handle the jobs

when they're ready.

The runner spawns workers, which perform the actual tasks themselves. This is

done by running a special WP-CLI command.
