I like Fly but can't migrate my apps to them because they don't support cron jobs - they've been promising it for more than a year now: https://community.fly.io

- albertgoeswoof 4y agoI run cron jobs on fly, using a process. Eg with a rails app running Puma: [processes] web = "bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb" worker = "config/cron_entrypoint.sh" And the shell script looks like this: #!/bin/sh printenv | grep -v "no_proxy" >> /etc/environment cron -f Although I would say that cron isn’t a great solution for containerized apps on most platforms, it seems like scheduled processes need a rethink for todays infra.
- tonyhb 4y agoWe're building serverless scheduled processes, queues, and event-driven systems at https://www.inngest.com/ https://www.inngest.com/. It's early days, and we agree — they've needed a refresh to adapt to modern practices.
- shortdiv 4y agoWe just released scheduled machines that will help with this. It's similar to the scheduler add-on in heroku and supports general intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly).
