This is the most powerful of the builtin triggers in APScheduler You can specify a variety of different expressions on each field, and when determining the next execution time, it finds the earliest possible time that satisfies the conditions in every field This behavior resembles the "Cron" utility found in most UNIXlike operating systems How to use FlaskAPScheduler in your Python 3 Flask application to run multiple tasks in parallel, from a single HTTP request When you build an API endpoint that serves HTTP requests to work on longrunning tasks, consider using a scheduler Instead of holding up a HTTP client until a task is completed, you can return an identifier for the client to query the task status @Kris APscheduler is a bad choice for a scheduled job within a web application, in my opinion Once you scale to more than one server process you have to do crazy things to prevent duplicate schedules running in each process So yes, I would still use cron
