Can I run scheduled tasks on Heroku?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can run scheduled tasks on Heroku using the Heroku Scheduler add-on. The Scheduler allows you to schedule recurring jobs to run at specified intervals. You can use the command-line interface or the Heroku Dashboard to manage your scheduled tasks. Jobs can be triggered as frequently as every 10 minutes or as infrequently as once per day. With the Scheduler, you can run anything that can be executed in a command-line interface, including script files, rake tasks, or other long-running processes. It's a flexible and easy-to-use tool for automating routine tasks or data updates on your Heroku application, eliminating the need for external cron services.
