Hello, What do you use as an alternative for cron jobs? I want to implement a repetitive task that will execute each ~hour or so to analyse the data created in that hour. Thanks in advance 🙏

you can use this: https://github.com/justwrote/kjob
or these for Java: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.3.0/quick-start.html
