Many web backends are deployed to platform-managed runtime-specific container environments. The idle Linux monolith is becoming less common. In these environments, it’s often easier to set up a cron webhook endpoint than to write a DIY task scheduler.

That said, most deployment platforms have their own task scheduler systems. And https://cron-job.org/en/ does this for free. So, I understand the market but I don’t understand why anyone would pay for this.

But cheers & best of luck to the maker!
