- jimmyechan 3y agoIs your cron running locally or do you have it set up on a server?
- cjohnson318 3y agoI usually have cron jobs set up on servers for simple things. If I'm doing large scale web development, I tend to use containers, so I'll use a scheduling mechanism appropriate for whatever framework I'm using. For example, if I'm building a Django application, then I use Celery. There's always the tradeoff of just using the tools you get for free in a Linux distro, but paying the price of handling multiple DSLs, versus installing, configuring, and managing a larger system with a more homogenous interface.
