How Slack Transformed Cron into a Distributed Job Scheduler With help from Kubernetes, Golang and Kafka, Slack's crontab drives 2,000 tasks an hour. Monster Scale Summit had all the details.

Slack took cron from a single-server bottleneck to a distributed powerhouse handling 2,000 jobs per hour. With #Kubernetes, #Golang, and #Kafka, they built a resilient scheduler. @joabj.bsky.social unpacks how it all works.

I'm no MAGA hat, but this is a GREAT idea. F*ck pennies (and change in general)

The NYC bodegas have the right idea. Something is either $0.50 or $1. Nothing in between is worth worrying about.
