Introduction

What is The Scheduler

The scheduler is a Task Manager where you write your own tasks in Typescript/Javascript. Based on a typed class component users can write their own processes, using any extra packages, libraries, and extra tools they want, all while being able to schedule these tasks to run on a specific time.

In a nutshell, The scheduler is an expanded CRON job manager.

What does The Scheduler focus on

• The Scheduler focuses on ease of configuration and user coded interactions, like on task start and end, logging and error handling.
• We also focuses on a clear structure for the task code base ( a class base ), and the ability to compose extra ready to use plugins and services to attach and use in your task.
• We also have a “good” UI that is focused on keyboard accessibility and ease of navigation and search (more to come on this).
• Our deployment process comes with the most amount of default configs, and a minimal number of services/containers needed to start.
