Ask HN: What is the cheapest hosting for cron jobs?
I am currently using Digitalocean, but to me it's too pricey to 'every 2 hours' cron jobs
- 369548684892826 4y agoAt this level of personal use on a pay-as-you-go plan Azure Functions seem to not even register a chargeable amount. You would pay something for the storage to hold your function code and data, but that might only cost $0.10/month for low usage. You can run Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, C#, etc. Put it on a Timer Trigger, and you've got cronjobs in the cloud for almost no cost.
- Igor_Wiwi 4y agoI need smth like this but with access to the file system. In a cron job I generate files which eventually I need to push to github. Do you think Azure Funcions are good for such task?
- 369548684892826 4y agoThen no, Azure Functions probably won't be good for that, because it sounds like you need a git repository on your VM which does require filesystem access. Isn't the cheapest Digital Ocean offer $4/month, I don't think you'll find anything much cheaper than that for what you're doing.
