In this short guide, you can learn what a cron job is and how to set up cron jobs in Deno to automate tasks.

Automation can save time by improving and streamlining processes and repetitive tasks. In a unix-like system, you can automate tasks using cron jobs.

What is a cron job?

A cron job is a unix term for a system process (cron) that allows you to schedule tasks to run at a later date under a specified set of privileges. Essentially, it’s a scheduler that enables applications to schedule a job to run automatically at a certain date or time. In this article, we’ll integrate a cron job into a Deno application.
