Scheduled jobs
Cron and edge workers that fire on time, retry when they fail, and tell you the moment they stop.
A scheduled job is easy to write and hard to trust. The first version runs on your laptop and works. The version that matters runs at 4am on a holiday when an upstream API returns a 502 and nobody is awake to notice.
The difference is everything around the job rather than the job itself. Retries with backoff so a single bad response does not skip the run. Idempotent writes so a retry does not double count. A heartbeat that fails loudly when the job stops firing, because silence is the failure mode that costs you weeks.
Work is deployed to edge workers or a scheduler you already run. You get the schedule, the alerting, and a written record of what happens when each part fails.
What you get
- Cron or edge worker deployment
- Retry, backoff, and idempotent writes
- Heartbeat and dead man alerting
- Run history you can audit
- Documented failure behaviour
