Ask HN: How do you use cron at work?

I'm working on a cron alternative and would love to gather data outside of my own on how people are using this utility.

I recommend systemd timers instead, that way each service can have its own unit & timer files in its package without having to mess with a single system-wide file like the crontab.

Not really cron, but I made a systemd unit that checks a directory and syncs it to my s3 drive when there are new files

To backup files every day
