Learn how to build an application with the the newly announced cron job scheduler, Cron Triggers, from Cloudflare Workers. In this demo, we will explain what Cron Triggers are, how to quickly get started using them, and how to write and deploy your own. We will also review how to integrate with Workers KV, our key value store that allows you to store data at the edge and retrieve it inside your Workers' project instead of sending that data to alternative platforms such as Postgres or Firebase. To show you how this works in practice, we will interview a Workers' user, Adam Janis. Adam built a status page in React by integrating Workers serverless functions, Cron Triggers, and Workers KV. See below for time marks and useful links.
