Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.
It was originally developed for the Ubuntu distribution, but is intended to be suitable for deployment in all Linux distributions as a replacement for the venerable System-V init and is currently the default in Ubuntu and in RHEL and its derivats (CentOS, etc.)
It would be feasible to use upstart instead of System-V on supported platforms.
