Introducing Cron Triggers for Cloudflare Workers

Cloudflare has launched Cron Triggers for its Workers, allowing users to schedule their workers on timed intervals instead of purely relying on incoming HTTP requests. This feature was highly requested and is available at no additional cost on both the free tier and the paid tier called Workers Bundled. Cron Triggers are useful for tasks like pulling data from APIs or running regular integration tests on a schedule. The triggers count towards the request cap but there will be no extra fees. Cloudflare's distributed system allows them to offer this feature at no additional cost by efficiently routing traffic during underutilized hours, passing the cost savings down to users.
