fcron VS rocketry-with-fastapi

Does this support multiple time zones simultaneously? We have clients that are in different time zones, and (for example) they all want weekly summary emails every Monday morning at 6am, but in their own timezone. So California users get theirs at 6am US/Pacific, New York users get theirs at 6am US/Eastern, and we want to be able to handle this without having to worry about updating crontabs the night of a daylight savings change.

For this reason, we are using fcron[0] instead of regular cron, which allows you to specify the timezone at the start of each crontab line. If this tool supports that sort scenario, it might be worth switching.

I don't think Rocketry will achieve the same level of adaptation as Airflow and it is missing many advanced features Airflow has such as built-in UI (working on such), executors for containers etc. but considering how versatile it is and how powerful the scheduling is (basically logical statements), I think it could be interesting for those data engineers who need to customize their setup or need something smaller in scale.

If you want an API (or UI), just clone this and modify it as you need: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry-with-fastapi. I also wrote an article to Medium how it works with FastAPI: https://itnext.io/scheduler-with-an-api-rocketry-fastapi-a0f...

Rocketry plays quite nicely with FastAPI.

Rocketry is a modern scheduling framework. It was designed to be easy to use, easy to customize and it has a unique take on scheduling. It does not force you to a specific structure and it can be seamlessly integrated with other frameworks such as FastAPI.

I also did a template that integrates it with FastAPI and I built a React app on top of the FastAPI: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry-with-fastapi. You can just clone it and tinker with it as you please. I also wrote a tutorial for integrating the API if you wonder how it was done.

The source code is here with instructions to set this up: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry-with-fastapi. Use it as you wish.

I made a template scheduler with an API: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry-with-fastapi so that you can get a working scheduler with an interface in a minute. Rocketry (a scheduler framework) now supports async and it plays well with FastAPI (a web framework).
