A cron expression parser and job scheduler library for Go that runs functions on scheduled schedules. Version 3 supports standard cron specs, optional seconds fields, timezone handling, and chainable job wrappers for cross-cutting behavior.
Use cases
- run a function every night at midnight in go
- schedule recurring background jobs in go
- parse cron expressions in go
- run periodic cleanup tasks in my application
- skip overlapping job runs in a scheduler
- schedule jobs with timezone support in go
When to choose
- you need in-process scheduled jobs in a Go application
- you want standard cron syntax with optional seconds precision
- you need interceptors for panic recovery or skipping concurrent runs
When to avoid
- you need a distributed scheduler across multiple nodes
- you need system-level cron replacing the OS crontab
- you need Quartz year-field support
