BoxLang's recent release adds a powerful scheduler that enables code execution at predefined intervals. It supports a variety of use cases, including automated backups and data refreshes from APIs. Developers can define tasks with specific names, schedules, and code, leveraging lambda functions or closures. The scheduler also includes lifecycle events, allowing actions before and after task execution. This feature offers flexibility for routine tasks across different environments—be it command line, web applications, or server environments. Documentation is currently limited to release notes, but it's enough to get developers started.
The newly released scheduler in BoxLang allows for code to execute on predefined schedules, making it versatile for tasks like backups and data refreshes.
Developers can define multiple lifecycle events alongside tasks, offering flexibility in scheduling jobs at various levels whether in CLI or web applications.
