"Cloud Scheduler Makes Cron Jobs in GCP Effortless via UI or gcloud API"

4/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Scheduler?

Cloud Scheduler allows us to schedule cron jobs in an incredibly easy way through either a graphical interface or the gcloud API. It solves the need for us to set up these cron jobs within GCP instead of our application, which is ideal for us for serverless resources we currently operate.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Scheduler?

Google Cloud Scheduler is an easy solution in various scenarios, but it may be worse in the case of always-on services (e.g. a Kubernetes cluster), where the cron job logic living in a separate service makes things more complex. In this scenario we'd opt for a Kubernetes cron job schedule to keep things simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Scheduler solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Cloud Scheduler allows us to easily create cron jobs for our various internal serverless services without having to use the gcloud API or create a different service just for these cron jobs. The interface is simple, but the UX is flexible enough to allow us to run all kinds of different scheduled jobs across a variety of our cloud resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
