Every product requires some kind of cron service - period. And running cron is a pain.
You have to setup a separate service to host it. That requires DevOps chops, and pain.
It is unpredictable, your cron workflows might take a lot of time. You can't view if your cron ran, or you may have to set up a different service like airflow. And it is expensive.
Plus with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, now you can code really fast, and convert complex thought into code.
So we built Xquantum, out of our need to run crons fast and reliably.
Port over your code (custom or AI generated), paste on Xquantum, and deploy on cron. Sit back and enjoy while your code runs and does everything that it is supposed to. Delight clients by automating their workflows real fast.
Build faster by building logic to interface directly with your database and do something, and interface with your DB again. If you want to keep your code in your repo, simply ping your API endpoint, and define what you need done on success or failure (like call yourself).
All in all, have fun building the next big thing, the world is your oyster!
