Quirrel Joins Netlify and Scheduled Functions Launches in Beta

We’re delighted to announce that Simon Knott, creator of Quirrel and maintainer of Blitz.js, is joining the Netlify family. Quirrel is an open source solution for managing and scheduling serverless functions and jobs. Simon is also a maintainer for Blitz.js, a fullstack JavaScript framework that brings "Zero API" backend functionality to Next.js. The company has introduced Scheduled Functions as part of Netlify Functions, enabling users to run functions on a regular schedule. Scheduled Functions can be used for tasks such as backing up data or building and deploying static content regularly. Users can provide feedback through the Netlify forums or in the Netlify Functions repo Issues. Simon's expertise is expected to support the team at Netlify in continuing innovations around serverless functions.
