Scheduled tasks

Periodic background jobs that run inside the workspace. No separate service to deploy.


Common uses:

Category Examples
Ingestion Hourly sync from a source system
Maintenance Rebuild indexes, backfill missing embeddings, schema migrations
Enrichment Reparse fields after a pipeline update, compute derived edges
Analytics Generate cached aggregates, update dashboards

Configure in Admin → Scheduled Tasks:

  1. New task → select type
  2. Enter a cron expression
  3. Configure type-specific parameters
  4. Enable and monitor

Cron examples:

Expression Runs
0 * * * * Every hour
0 0 * * * Every day at midnight
0 0 * * 0 Every Sunday at midnight
*/15 * * * * Every 15 minutes

Good tasks are idempotent — re-running them produces the same state. Avoid unbounded operations; use pagination or cursor-based reads.
