Running a product
Scheduled job
A task invoked according to a configured schedule rather than a visitor's click. Schedulers commonly use cron expressions. Timing, retries and possible duplicate invocations depend on the scheduler, so the operation needs suitable recovery behavior.

In a real project
A daily workshop task summarizes unfinished bookings. Each run checks which records still need processing rather than assuming the previous scheduled run definitely completed.
A common mistake
Assuming a schedule guarantees exact timing or one execution. Check the provider's rules, protect the endpoint and make repeated or missed runs recoverable.
