I'm looking for a functions-as-a-service with a cron/schedule trigger. I have found some, but I'm wondering if I'm missing any (I'll take any that can run Python, Rust, JS via ReScript or Gleam, or BEAM via Gleam)? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-timer?tabs=python-v2%2Cisolated-process%2Cnodejs-v4&pivots=programming-language-python https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/cron-triggers/ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-eventbridge-scheduler.html https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/functions/how-to/schedule-functions/

    @brettcannon it looks like you found 4. What makes you look for more?

    @brettcannon Would it be sufficient to (mis-)use a CI/CD pipeline? I have GitHub repos which periodically run a Python script via GH Actions. For example: https://github.com/ping13/listmonk-rss/blob/main/.github/workflows/listmonk_rss.yml Works for private repos, too.

    @brettcannon one more: In Google Cloud, cron “Scheduler” is a factored out service you can use to trigger other services. You can combine it with Cloud Run to execute your containers: https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/triggering/using-scheduler
