Flightcontrol is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that specializes in deploying production applications with a focus on reliability, flexibility, and performance, leveraging AWS infrastructure. The company has announced the general availability of its Fargate scheduler job runner, designed to efficiently handle scheduled and on-demand tasks by automatically deploying and shutting down dedicated servers to run jobs, ensuring cost-effectiveness by only charging for execution time. This service is particularly beneficial for long-running, resource-intensive tasks or when a dedicated worker server is unnecessary. The scheduler offers ease of use with a user-friendly interface that includes intuitive cron scheduling, timezone management, execution history visibility, and the ability to pause jobs. Users can customize the resource allocation per job, and the platform supports various build types, including Nixpacks, custom Dockerfiles, and image registries. Additionally, it provides comprehensive logging and notifications for job executions, with options for advanced monitoring through sidecar containers that integrate with tools like Datadog.
