Run work on a schedule

Ask for repeating tasks like hourly digests; Outer registers the schedule and wakes your app each time.

Ask for repeating work, like an hourly digest or a nightly cleanup, and your builder writes a schedule file. Outer registers it on deploy and wakes your app at each occurrence.

Rules worth knowing

• Jobs for one app run one at a time. A slow job delays the next one.
• A failing job retries with backoff, then gives up after 6 failures or at the next occurrence.
• After downtime, Outer runs one missed occurrence and skips the rest. Jobs should tolerate repeats.
• Keep schedules hourly or slower on Free, down to every minute on Pro.

Long or flaky work should fan out to Background jobs.

For the technical detail, your builder reads Schedule repeating work.
