Support scheduled tasks

[chdsbd]

It would be great if I could schedule a project to run on a schedule.

I'd argue no serious system will get by without intermittent background jobs. I'm sure there are options for implementing this, but using the docs to make the concern a low-hanging fruit would be helpful.

Yes, we want to do this. We are researching support for cron jobs and/or background workers. But no estimate yet of when this will be supported.

Any update on this? Like the closed #224 mentioned, CloudFlare Workers are a good way to implement this, I would love a native Deno Deploy integration.

Yes, it would be great if Deno Deploy could support cron jobs, i am looking forward to it. 🫶

Still waiting, still hope:)

Has this been considered any further?

[Smidgens]

I would love this feature. It'd save me all the tedium of having to manage yet another cloud dashboard just to configure a worker that pings my Deno app periodically.

Crons are now in Beta! I tried them and it works. With Crons, KV, and Queues it's getting really exciting 🎊

Here is the blog post I read where they announced it:

Docs: https://docs.deno.com/kv/manual/cron

Note that they are actively seeking feedback for Deno Cron:
