Summary

Cloudflare has introduced Cron Triggers for its serverless compute platform, Cloudflare Workers. This feature enables developers to schedule jobs at fixed intervals, similar to the Unix cron pattern. The Cron Triggers are executed from the edge and can be used for running periodic tasks like maintenance or calling third-party APIs for updated data. A new event type has been added to support this feature, with plans for more non-HTTP event handlers in the future. The Cron Triggers feature is now live and available for developers to try out.
