Advanced Scheduler

Reliable and powerful task scheduling as a service. Starting at $0/mo.

Advanced Scheduler
The New Standard

Advanced Scheduler is the new standard in task scheduling on Heroku apps. Get more flexibility, out-of-the-box monitoring, added interfaces, greater reliability and unparalleled ease of use on top of the well-known Heroku Scheduler experience.

More Flexibility

Advanced Scheduler enables you to schedule one-off and recurring tasks using a dyno tailored to the job. Executes only when you need it to, just like a traditional cron job. May that be every minute or “at 00:00 New York time on the 1st of the month and on Monday”.

Out-of-the-box Monitoring

By default, Advanced Scheduler monitors the execution of your tasks and stores the execution history. Whenever a task fails to run properly, we will notify you, allowing you to quickly start investigating and tackle the issue.

Added Interfaces

Interact with Advanced Scheduler using more than just the dashboard. Extend the Service API to programmatically create and manage your triggers. Use the Heroku CLI plugin to perform common trigger management tasks directly from the terminal.

Greater Reliability

Advanced Scheduler is built with precision in mind, minimising execution delays. When a scheduled task is due for execution, it is triggered within seconds. If it fails to run, multiple attempts will be made over time to ensure proper execution.

Unparalleled Ease of Use

Schedule your tasks using cron expressions or the schedule helper. Use any command and config var that can run in your Heroku application. Tasks will run as one-off dynos and show up in your logs, using the same environment as your app.

Heroku Scheduler Migration

Avoid any risk of config mistakes and save time by automatically importing Heroku Scheduler jobs directly into Advanced Scheduler. The imported jobs will behave exactly the same, allowing you to be up and running within a few clicks.
