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)?

@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
