Link parkin’: pg_timetable
pg_timetable is an advanced job scheduler for PostgreSQL, offering many advantages over traditional schedulers such as cron and others. It is completely database driven and provides a couple of advanced concepts.
In any serious development effort, I’m likely to have PostgreSQL in the stack so might as well take advantage of it for scheduled tasks too. One less piece of kit to worry about.
