What is Cronman?

“Distributed Sleep as a Service” for Atlassian Cloud.

Cronman is a distributed Unix cron-like service that allows scheduling time-based tasks in the future. Users (services) can schedule jobs on a schedule by defining a job in Cronman. When the jobs are due, Cronman invokes the configured API for the job destination.

The callback is typically an HTTP call to the service which scheduled the job, or a message placed on an AWS SQS queue to be consumed by the calling service.
