FAQPage Schema

How do I schedule recurring background jobs in Convex?▼

To schedule recurring background jobs in Convex, you configure internal functions using crons.interval for simple fixed intervals or crons.cron for precise timings. This automates background data syncing and periodic administrative tasks without manual invocation.

What is the difference between crons.interval and crons.cron in Convex?▼

Crons.interval in Convex schedules tasks to run at simple, fixed recurring intervals, while crons.cron uses cron expressions for precise, specific timing schedules. Both use internal functions for secure and auditable execution.

Can I use Convex cron jobs for periodic data syncing and cleanup?▼

Yes, Convex cron jobs are designed for periodic data syncing, cleanup jobs, analytics reporting, and administrative tasks. They execute recurring internal functions automatically at fixed intervals or specific times.

Do Convex cron jobs support batching for large datasets?▼

Yes, Convex cron jobs support batching for large datasets. When scheduling recurring tasks via internal functions, batching is required alongside adherence to UTC and logging to manage large-scale data processing efficiently.

What timezone does Convex use for scheduled cron tasks?▼

Convex requires adherence to UTC when configuring scheduled cron tasks. Using UTC ensures consistent timing for internal functions running at fixed intervals or specific times across your applications.
