I don't see why event driven processing and cron-jobs (or any other time-based task scheduling mechanism), are strictly mutually exclusive.
- 0xbadcafebee 3y agoThey're not mutually exclusive. But the vast majority of tasks run by cron jobs are not time-sensitive.
- ac2u 3y agoExample of these jobs people are using for cron that are not time sensitive? Every shop I’ve worked in, events driven stuff might happen on producer consumer queue mechanism, whereas stuff that needs to happen at a certain time (ie, time sensitive) uses a scheduler/cron, or a idempotent scheduling system that’s consistently polled for things that should be happening “now”.
