Scheduler Task in Azure

Question

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.

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.
