Function containers on Cycle have always been the efficient way to run batch jobs and workloads, with far more customization than traditional FaaS or serverless. What they couldn't do was run themselves. Over the past year, team after team told us the same thing: they wanted these functions on a schedule without standing up and babysitting a cron service. As of this release, Cycle fully supports CRON scheduled function containers.

We're thrilled to announce that we've added Cherry Servers, a European infrastructure provider, as another native integration to the Cycle platform. With this integration, Cycle clients have more choice in where, and how, they deploy their applications as Cherry offers a variety of bare metal server configurations across 7 data centers located around the globe. For a more formal announcement, please see our joint press release with Cherry Servers.
