What is a cron job?
A cron job is a task that runs automatically on a schedule, such as sending a daily report or cleaning old rows.
The short version
A cron job is a task that runs automatically on a schedule, such as sending a daily report or cleaning old rows. Traditional cron runs commands on a server. Hosted schedulers usually call an HTTP endpoint instead, which works well with web apps because the job lives in your normal code. Protect those endpoints with a secret.
