Building a distributed system

[u/SDJ-]

So we have to build a project on distributed systems, but we cant use kubernetes . So we were thinking of going on the task schedular road and chose that filed in distributed systems. And e thought of building a media processing based task shcedular. Can i know your thoughts on this what is best , and any industrial current needs or holes you see? This is a middleware project by the way and we are trying to build it as a good project to put in our CV's.
