Automation
Scheduled tasks: restarts, redeploys and scaling on a cron.
The Automation page schedules maintenance on your own schedule — restarts, redeploys and scaling driven by a cron expression in an explicit IANA timezone (so "0 3 * * *" means 03:00 your time, summer and winter alike).
What you can schedule#
| Action | Use case |
|---|---|
| Restart service | Clear a drifted process on a regular cadence |
| Restart project | Recycle every service in a project together |
| Redeploy service | Refresh containers from the configured source |
| Scale to 0 / scale to 1 | Office-hours services — turn things off at night, on in the morning |
Managing tasks#
Create a task from the sidebar (Automation), choose the action, the cron expression and the timezone, then enable it. Each task shows its next and last run with the last result. Pause a task without deleting it — useful during a freeze — and resume it later.
Deploy windows still apply to redeploy tasks: if the window is closed the task's deployment is queued, not dropped. Scale actions are state changes and are not bound by deploy windows.
