Introducing Scheduled Triggers: API Driven Cron Jobs and Scheduled Events

The latest stable release of Hasura introduces Scheduled Triggers, which enable the execution of custom business logic via webhooks at specific points in time. This feature extends Event Triggers (which are driven by table events) to a flexible API that can be used to schedule events at any time for any payload and webhook. Scheduled Triggers come with two types of scheduling: Cron Triggers, which execute periodic events according to a cron schedule, and One-off Scheduled Events, which are used for one-time execution. The feature is well suited for serverless applications as each event can be mapped to an individual function that scales infinitely with no operations needed.
