Earlier quoted context omitted.
Jenkins has scheduled jobs and an UI. It can also be accessed via API. https://jenkins.io/
This is not with respect to devops or build . My app has schedule functionality for example a scheduled report , so if it where like a webhook call then i dont want to waste the cpu cycle ,now i am using quartz scheduler in my java app .

#32Nomad by Hashicorp. You have to do just a little legwork to get it to call an API - just schedule a job that calls the appropriate curl command. When I'm explaining it to people, I explain it is a "distributed cron". You schedule a job either using the command line or via an API to the Nomad server and then it runs the job on any box that has the Nomad agent running and registered to the server. If you combine Nomad…
Nomad is probably a bit overkill for cron. It's a whole k8s alternative isn't it?

#38Edit: if you haven't got this stack around though i'd second calls to use a build tool like Jenkins or Rundeck - of course you probably don't want this on the same Jenkins that builds your jobs... so you'd have to set all that up

#39There are a few online tools, such as: https://www.easycron.com/ https://www.setcronjob.com/ etc. You might be as well writing your own though, since it shouldn't be a difficult task.
