Render Cron Jobs

This skill covers Cron Job services on Render: how schedules run, what the platform guarantees, and how they differ from workers and workflows. Pair it with Blueprint and deploy skills when authoring render.yaml or Dashboard settings.

When to Use

  • Scheduled work that starts on a cron, runs a command, and exits when finished
  • Choosing between cron, background worker, or workflow for periodic or long-running jobs
  • Blueprint fields for type: cron, schedule, and commands
  • Constraints: no disk, single concurrent run, 12-hour max duration, private-network outbound only
  • UTC scheduling pitfalls (expressions are not local time)

Expression cheat sheets, framework startCommand examples, and Heroku Scheduler migration mapping live under references/.
