Benefits

• Effortless to Implement
  You can define the logic of the cron function with relative ease by choosing the Catalyst Cron function template from the CLI , removing the need for additional resources and time to code from scratch. You don’t have to manually set up an elaborate backend, as Catalyst handles the complex backend logic, providing you with a seamless developer experience.

• Seamlessly Scalable
  Catalyst servers can seamlessly handle heavy workload and they can automatically scale up or down based on the requirement. This enables developers to solely focus on configuring the cron job and coding the logic, without needing to perform any additional coding to handle the backend setup. Catalyst’s cron jobs execute seamlessly regardless of the load.

• Easy and Effective Testing
  You can test cron functions without having to set-up elaborate test plans. Using the function shell in the CLI. Here you can execute the cron function, and if there are no errors a Success message will be displayed. In the event of an error, the error message and details will be displayed in the CLI and a detailed report of the error can be viewed in the Logs section of the console.

• Execution History
  Catalyst logs every cron job that is executed and makes them immediately available in the Execution History section. These logs enable you to assess the performance of your cron jobs and cron functions, debug errors and perform quick fixes, and make informed decisions based on analytics and reports. The execution history is available for 15 days in the development environment and 30 days in the production environment.

• Immediate and Precise Alerts
  Catalyst provides you with the advantage of configuring custom, automated alerts to receive when a cron encounters an exception, failure, or a time out through Application Alerts. Catalyst will send these alerts immediately via email upon the cases you specify. This enables you to easily keep a track of the cron jobs in all your projects and implement immediate fixes during failures.
