Overview

Task schedulers handle recurring jobs, delayed execution, and distributed work scheduling. This skill covers node-cron for simple scheduling, BullMQ for Redis-based job queues with delays and priorities, Celery for Python distributed task queues, and systemd timers for OS-level scheduling.

Capabilities

• Schedule recurring tasks with cron expressions
• Build delayed and prioritized job queues with BullMQ
• Implement distributed task scheduling with Celery
• Use systemd timers for OS-level scheduling
• Handle job retries, backoff, and failure recovery
• Monitor job queues and execution metrics
