convex-cron-jobs

Schedule recurring background tasks with interval and cron expression patterns in Convex. Schedule recurring functions for background tasks, cleanup jobs, data syncing, and automated workflows in Convex applications. Before implementing, do not assume; fetch the latest documentation: Convex cron jobs allow you to schedule functions to run at regular intervals or specific times. Key features: Use crons.interval for simple recurring tasks: Use crons.cron for precise scheduling with cron expressions: Common patterns: Cron jobs should call internal functions for security: Pass static arguments to cron jobs: Add logging to track cron job execution: Handle large datasets in batches to avoid timeouts: Use actions for external API calls: - Supports two scheduling modes: fixed intervals (seconds, minutes, hours) and precise cron expressions (UTC timezone) - Cron jobs call internal functions for security and can accept static arguments for parameterized tasks - Includes patterns for cleanup operations, data syncing, batch processing, and external API calls via actions - Built-in logging and monitoring via the Convex dashboard; handle large datasets through pagination and batching to avoid timeouts - Primary: - Scheduling Overview: - Scheduled Functions: - For broader context: - Run functions on a fixed schedule - Support for interval-based and cron expression scheduling - Automatic...
