With SCF scheduled triggers, you can quickly create scheduled tasks without having to purchase computing resources in advance. Such triggers leverage Serverless' powerful elastic scalability to provide stable and fast capabilities of scheduled task processing.
Unlike other event-based triggers, scheduled triggers can execute tasks by using scheduled time-driven functions. Specifically, you can configure Cron expressions to quickly use such triggers without relying on external invocations. They have natural advantages in typical scheduled task scenarios such as automated monitoring, testing, and alarming, automated task execution, and data archiving, cleansing, and backup. The relevant workflow is as shown below:
Advantages of Function Processing
The full lifecycle of scheduled tasks can be managed to help you quickly build scheduled triggers.
Tasks are fully managed and can be triggered regularly and retried automatically by standard Cron expressions.
More and more built-in function templates are added to reduce the development costs for scheduled tasks in popular use cases
Computing power is provided based on SCF, with features such as auto scaling, OPS-free usage, and pay-as-you-go billing.
