This is not with respect to devops or build .

My app has schedule functionality for example a scheduled report , so if it where like a webhook call then i dont want to waste the cpu cycle ,now i am using quartz scheduler in my java app .

I need a scheduler where i can dynamically ( via api ) schedule a job , with the admin UI to manage the jobs .

I Think these are not part of application development and it can be offloaded to hosted services .

Yeah this works for cron jobs . Let me explain my requirement , say i have social media platform and users will schedule their post , and i need to schedule it in my scheduler and i have to persist in the databsae too . Because if the server is restarted all my scheduled jobs will be gone ..

So i am looking for a hosted scheduler where i can send a rest API request with a webhook and a small payload . During the execution time the hosted scheduler will call the webhook with the payload , so that i will publish the post .

Pros is that i dont want to worry about the scheduled jobs .Right now i am unable to find a scheduler with the good admin UI ( to pause all the jobs ) to delete the trial users post .
