PubNub has introduced a new feature called "On Interval" within its Functions platform, allowing developers to execute business logic at set intervals independently of real-time events, thereby simplifying tasks that were previously cumbersome to manage. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring periodic data checks or updates, such as maintaining consistent monitoring of health metrics in devices like continuous glucose monitors. Developers can now easily automate processes like pulling data from external APIs, batching messages, or generating summaries, without needing to manage external servers or scripts, thus reducing complexity and accelerating innovation. The flexibility of On Interval, with a minimum interval of 10 seconds and a maximum of 60 minutes, provides a streamlined coding experience, making it easier to solve routine challenges efficiently.
