What’s New
Scheduling work within CircleCI is an important way for you to run pipelines. In addition to periodic rebuilds of the application, scheduled pipelines can be useful for security scans and certain utility jobs such as restarting services.
While Scheduled Workflows may address some of these issues, there are a number of limitations. Scheduled pipelines will be more consistent with other methods of triggering pipelines (webhooks/APIs), which includes:
- consolidating common schedules
- resolving open issues in functionality for Scheduled Workflows (no dynamic configuratin, limitations in handling restricted contexts)
- increased reliability
For more information about scheduled pipelines, please refer to the blog post and technical documentation.
