I schedule them so I can run a recurring task every day. Examples: 1. Crawl a website, and store the data to a database - update every few hours. 2. Check a website for changes. 3. Process log data, and save it to another location. Docker may be overkill for some of these, but it provides a simple way to launch a new task in a container with all dependencies installed. The overhead seems to be relatively small for starting a new container, so it's worth the overhead vs. configuring a machine to run the container. |
