Schedule execution: Cron jobs

schedule periodic code execution

To define a schedule, we set both the periodicity and the timezone. We set the periodicity, we use strings such as every day 00:00 or every 8 hours. Then we also provide the callback function.

export const updateRankingsCRON = onSchedule(
    {
        schedule: "every day 00:00",
        timeZone: "Europe/Paris",
        region: "europe-west1",
    },
    async () => {
        // ...
    }
)

The former version (v1) uses a different API:

export const updateRankingsCRON = functions.pubsub
    .schedule("every 8 hours")
    .timeZone("Europe/Paris")
    .onRun(async (context) => {
        // ..
    })
