convex-cron-jobs

To schedule recurring background tasks in Convex, you define them through the cronJobs configuration using interval-based or cron-expression timing. This approach ensures reliable execution with automatic retries and observability.

Convex supports standard cron expressions for scheduling internal functions, allowing precise timing control. Consistent use of internal functions ensures secure execution of background tasks like data syncing or report generation.

Handling retries for scheduled Convex functions is managed automatically by defining cron jobs through the structured cronJobs configuration. This provides built-in error handling, automatic retries, and dashboard monitoring for production reliability.

Interval-based scheduling is fully supported in Convex for periodic data syncing. By configuring cron jobs, you automate recurring internal functions with automatic retries and production-grade observability.

To trigger an internal function daily at midnight UTC, create a named cron job in your configuration using a cron expression. This consistently invokes the target internal function securely for automated report generation or cleanup tasks.

Convex cron jobs are designed for production workloads requiring monitoring. They provide automatic retries, error handling, and dashboard observability, making them reliable for periodic data syncing and automated reports.
