SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scheduling and running recurring tasks is essential for modern Convex apps, but without a structured mechanism, developers struggle with reliability, timing accuracy, and observability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interval scheduling for regular background tasks (e.g., cleanup, data sync)
  • Cron expression support for precise timing in UTC
  • Built-in monitoring, logging, and retry strategies
  • Guidance on security best practices by calling internal functions

Quick Start

Define a convex-cron-jobs module using cronJobs and register interval and cron schedules that call internal APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-cron-jobs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring background tasks in Convex?▼

To schedule recurring background tasks in Convex, you use cronJobs to register interval and cron schedules that call internal APIs. This approach automates background maintenance, data syncing, and periodic reporting reliably.

Does Convex support cron expressions for precise task scheduling?▼

Yes, Convex supports cron expressions for precise task scheduling by enforcing UTC timing. This allows you to execute periodic reporting and data syncing at exact intervals without timing inaccuracies.

How do I handle errors and retry failed scheduled jobs in Convex?▼

Handling errors and retrying failed scheduled jobs in Convex involves built-in retry strategies, logging, and monitoring. These mechanisms ensure your background maintenance tasks recover automatically from execution failures.

What is the best way to run batch processing on a schedule in Convex?▼

The best way to run batch processing on a schedule in Convex is using interval-based functions with cronJobs. This supports batching and error handling while securely calling internal functions for background maintenance.

Why are my Convex scheduled tasks running at the wrong time?▼

Your Convex scheduled tasks might run at the wrong time because the system enforces UTC timing. Ensure your cron expressions and interval-based functions align with UTC to achieve accurate timing for periodic reporting.

Can I monitor and log Convex cron jobs for background maintenance?▼

Yes, you can monitor and log Convex cron jobs for background maintenance. The scheduling mechanism includes built-in monitoring, logging, and retry strategies to provide observability for your recurring data syncing tasks.
