Function Compute allows you to configure a time trigger to automatically trigger a function at a specified time.

Scenarios

A time trigger automatically triggers a function at a specified time. Scheduled tasks are applicable to a wide range of scenarios, including but not limited to the following:
  • Regular batch processing of data. For example, full data collection and generation of a report every hour.
  • Scheduling daily behaviors, such as sending coupons every hour on the hour.
  • Performing asynchronous tasks related to business decoupling, such as deleting data at 00:00 every day.
