在部署在heroku上的Django应用中运行计划的作业

Question

I have deployed a django app on heroku. So far it works fine. Now I have to schedule a task (its in the form of python script) once a day. The job would take the data from heroku database perform some calculations and post the results back in the database. I have looked at some solutions for this usually they are using rails in heroku. I am confused whether I should do it using the cron jobs extension available in django or using the scheduled jobs option in heroku. Since the application is using using heroku I thought of using that only but I dont get any help how to add python jobs in it. Kindly help.

Answer 1

I suggest you to create a Django management command for your project like python mananage.py run_this_once_a_day . And you can use Heroku schedular to trigger this scheduling.
