Scheduler Task in Azure

Scheduler Task in Azure

Sriman 21

We are using Azure App Service, i need to call one of python end point/task periodically. Earlier we have used Django - Celery and RabbitMQ to call the task periodically.

Env: AppService -> Ubuntu
WebJob: Ubuntu does not support webjob
Tech Stack: Python3.6 and Postgres

Please let me know if there is any way i can schedule task in azure. I am not sure whether i can use Azure Service Bus as we don't have any message to share between processes or server etc.,

Regards,
Sri.

It's rather common to write scheduled tasks as Azure Functions, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-get-started?pivots=programming-language-python

Hi @Sriman ,

In addition to @Anonymous comment, you can also look at using Logic Apps for simple tasks. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-overview. Check this tutorial for creating a scheduled based logic app. While Logic Apps allows for some customizations, if you have specific use cases that requires custom code, Azure Functions will be your best solution.
