### What we like

Trigger a JS/TS function on a time interval (Vixie Cron syntax) or once on a specific date. Configure max runs, timezone, intervals between executions. Overrun protection. Can query the status (next run, is running, is stopped, etc) and control it (trigger, pause, resume) once initialized. Runs in Node, browser & Bun.

### Tradeoffs

Runs entirely in memory - great to have no dependencies, but does mean there’s no persistence of state (which may not matter for idempotent cron triggers).

## Is Croner a fit?

Based on [Console’s review published on 2023-06-29](<https://console.dev/tools/croner#review_f2ee6aaa6310fb3a430f762a2162c79e3d85156008faf2623daadff3693c1fde>).

### Why consider it

Schedule functions to run at specific times or intervals

### Keep in mind

Lacks persistence of state due to running entirely in memory
