If you’ve ever worked with scheduling systems, you’ve probably had moments like this:
At 2 AM, your phone suddenly lights up.
Not a message—an alert. A job has failed.
You stare at the screen, with only one thought in your head:
“Can it just fix itself?”
It sounds a bit idealistic.
But this time, we actually want to take it seriously.
Soon, the Apache DolphinScheduler community will host a new online Meetup.
This time, we won’t dive into grand architectures or complex theories.
Instead, we start with a very “engineer-like” question:
👉 Can a scheduling system require less human effort?

- Time: April 21, 2026, 14:00–15:00

🎤 Who’s Speaking?
This session features Liu Xiaodong,
an algorithm engineer from Shanghai FamilyMart Co., Ltd.
His self-introduction is quite fun:
Not limited to one direction—he tinkers with everything.
Writes code, builds systems, explores new ideas.
And occasionally “wanders around Hyrule to discover new landscapes.”
Sounds like this won’t be a conventional talk.
💡 What’s the Topic?
The topic is simple yet vivid:
“DolphinScheduler Agent: I Just Want to Lie Down and Still Get Work Done”
It starts from a very real idea:
The dream state of a “lazy engineer” is:
When something breaks, the system detects and fixes it automatically.
Humans just take a glance and say a word—everything else is handled.
Sounds exaggerated?
This talk will explore:
👉 How far can we actually go in this direction
🧠 What Will You Learn?
This is not a purely conceptual talk, but an ongoing exploration:
- The design of DolphinScheduler Agent
- How to make scheduling systems more “self-healing”
- Real-world attempts and lessons learned
- A working demo
Rather than giving standard answers, it’s more like:
a journey recap + new ways of thinking
🎁 Bonus
There will also be a lucky draw during the livestream 🎉
You might even win a custom Apache DolphinScheduler keychain—
a must-have for community members!
👀 Who Should Join?
This Meetup is for you if:
- You’re using or exploring DolphinScheduler
- You’re interested in automation, agents, or intelligent operations
- You want to see real demos, not just slides
- Or you simply want to “work less” in a smarter way
📢 Final Thought
We’re used to fixing problems when they occur.
But rarely do we ask:
Can systems prevent problems—or even solve them on their own?
Maybe that’s the next step for scheduling systems.
📅 April 21
Let’s talk about building systems that are a little less exhausting.
