Scheduled Functions are a type of serverless function that can be run on a desired schedule, allowing teams to automate repetitive tasks and focus on delivering value to customers. By using JavaScript/TypeScript, teams can write and manage these functions in a language they're familiar with, making it easier to set up predictable processes. This enables teams to spend more time on creating novel features and problem-solving for customers, rather than performing manual tasks at specific times. Scheduled Functions can be applied to real-world problems such as publishing sites, scraping data from multiple sources, and generating reports to send to users, ultimately providing predictability, repeatability, and reliability in DevOps processes.
