Description

This Issue exists to collect many items that relate to "Crons" in Darklang - code that is scheduled to run on some pre-set interval or time.

In Darklang-classic, Crons only existed in our Cloud runtime (since that was the only runtime), but going forward we should have them supported for the Local/CLI runtime as well. (likely a wrapper of OS-level functionality)

  • bring them back locally / CLI
  • bring them back in the cloud
  • disable Crons which do nothing (see #3958)
  • allow pausing crons (see old #2646)
  • we should have more control over cron timing (see discussion in #3842)
  • prevent deploy from killing old CronChecker deployment until the new one is in place #3671
