scala-webapp-template VS Quartz

I'm also working on improving our template to provide a better developer experience (https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/307).

Ticket: https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/294

After thinking for a bit, I got to the conclusion that Vercel's preview environments are not really hard to implement. Then, I put my hands into this and created an integration for one of our projects: https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/pull/299

You can also check out our template which uses Scala.js + Slinky + Mui.

https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template does something very similar with akka-stream but it is tied to send emails on the background, it seems that we can easily extend it to support arbitrary jobs (https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/294). What is not so simple to do with such a schema is to distribute the jobs in many servers.

Given this, I wonder if you have ever worked with Ansible, if so, you could pick these playbooks to deploy to a ubuntu server, these playbooks are pretty generic for Scala apps, you will need to update the build/run script, everything else is already handled (like uploading the app to a server, creating users, registering a systemd service, etc).

Take a look at https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template and https://github.com/playframework/play-samples

Years ago, I wrote some ansible scripts so that ansible-playbook -i test-hosts.ini server.yml is enough to deploy the app (sample).

Given that you aren't familiar with Scala, I'd suggest looking into Play Framework, if you want to start fast and play with a project, check this template, your js background could help you to update the frontend relatively quick.

I'd suggest to check this template which already has an skeleton for a CRUD app, including deployment scripts that can mount an environment in ubuntu servers.

In java we have found Quartz( Quartz) , Job Runr(Jobrunr) and db-scheduler(db-scheduler) and need to evaluate these for our use case.

Im mit sit what you mean by "not supported", you sure can run MongoDB on Kubernetes. Maybe I'm way off, are you saying that you can't use Quartz (this one: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/ ?) because it doesn't natively allow you to load from MongoDB and.therefor you can't use it?

Uh this class is even worse, SDF is not a thread safe date formatter, so it never should be `final static`. `releaseDate` and `new Date()` will be ignorant of summer/winter time changes. For such scheduling one should use Quartz https://www.quartz-scheduler.org/

Have a look at http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/ If you're using Java

Long time I used http://www.quartz-scheduler.org which worked nicely, I wonder why Scala does not seem to have something standard for this.

Quartz Scheduler

We have a separate service for running cron jobs. It uses Quartz (http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/) and it has a REST API that we use to submit new jobs. It's easy to set up and all you need is a database. You definitely need a database in order to synchronize across different containers.
