Go

Go-powered backend

EdgeCron's scheduler, worker, and CLI Gateway are built around a Go delivery loop for durable scheduling, retry orchestration, and operationally simple HTTP dispatch.

CLI

Free local debugging CLI

Generate a CLI Debug Token, run `edgecron-cli listen --port 3000`, and forward matching EdgeCron deliveries to localhost - no tunnel, no ngrok, no exposed ports.

Architecture Flow

Durable execution in 3 steps

Your server sends the task. We store, trigger, and retry until it's delivered.

1
DISPATCH

Send task or webhook

Send a fast HTTP request containing your targeting URL, optional payload, and delay or retry parameter. Your server immediately frees up its execution thread.

Initialize Payload
2
PERSIST

Store & trigger precisely

EdgeCron saves the trigger, payload, schedule, endpoint bindings, and retry policy, then dispatches work at the configured time.

Durable Queue
3
VERIFY

Confirm delivery or auto-retry

If your endpoint answers with a 2xx, the audit trail completes. If it fails or times out, we execute retries automatically until recovery.

Core Features

Four things EdgeCron does for you

Stop hand-rolling retry logic, cron workers, fan-out loops, and log scrapers. EdgeCron provides these as a simple HTTP API.

Schedule a request later

Send an HTTP request to a bound endpoint set at a future time - 5 minutes, 30 days, or a recurring cron schedule. Empty schedule binding can target all active endpoints.

Delay Period:
Header Offset
EdgeCron-Delay: "1h"
Event scheduled exactly for:
2026-05-22 15:15:39 UTC

Automatic retries

If your endpoint returns 5xx, times out, hits a network error, or returns 429 with a valid Retry-After header, EdgeCron schedules retry attempts automatically.

Backoff TimelineRetry-After: 142ms
Atmp 123200 OK

Execution logs

Every delivery attempt is logged with status, response context, payload, and timestamp. Inspect delivery history, retry jobs, and replay context from the dashboard or API.

AI Agent execution

Let the agent decide. Let EdgeCron execute reliably.

Use the scheduling, delayed task, retry, and delivery primitives already inside EdgeCron as a bounded execution layer for AI agents.

Explore AI Agents

Schedule agent actions

Create recurring work with explicit time zones and registered endpoint bindings.

Run later

Execute an HTTP task at a precise time or after a controlled delay.

Recover delivery

Apply retry policies, preserve dead-letter context, and replay failed callbacks.

Inspect every attempt

Trace request, task, delivery, latency, response, and terminal status.

Execution APIs availableMCP private betaRegistered endpoints only · no arbitrary code execution
Reliability & Security

Built for sensitive callback workflows

EdgeCron treats every delivery as an auditable HTTP execution: signed requests, idempotency, retention controls, and replayable logs are part of the platform.

Signed deliveries

Webhook signing helps your endpoint verify that a callback was sent by EdgeCron before processing the payload.

Idempotency-aware execution

Delivery IDs and replay context help teams avoid duplicate side effects when a request is retried.

Dead-letter and replay

Failed tasks can move into a dead-letter workflow with full attempt history and manual recovery options.

Plan-based log retention

Each plan exposes clear log retention windows, from short evaluation history to longer business audit trails.

Trust Center

Security, compliance, and reliability for callback delivery

EdgeCron is used in request paths where retries, logs, and payload protection matter. These controls are designed to make production adoption easier to review.

Encryption by default

Stored task payloads, delivery logs, and account data are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Traffic is protected in transit with TLS 1.3.

Multi-region redundancy

The control plane is deployed across multiple cloud regions for redundancy, while scheduled deliveries can target public HTTP endpoints worldwide.

Scoped credentials

API credentials and dashboard access are separated from delivery targets so teams can rotate keys and isolate environments.

Retention windows

Log retention is plan-based and visible in pricing, from short evaluation windows to longer business audit trails.

Abuse and SSRF controls

Acceptable-use restrictions, rate limits, and abuse reporting protect the platform from spam, scanning, and private network targeting.

Formal policies

Refund, privacy, terms, and DPA pages are available as indexed, localized pages for vendor review and procurement workflows.

Local CLI debugging

Test real EdgeCron deliveries on localhost

The CLI turns your laptop into a temporary delivery target for Task Runs, Events, and Schedules. You can verify endpoint code, payload handling, and retry behavior without ngrok or changing the production Endpoint URL to localhost.

01

Create a Debug Token

Open API Key Management, choose CLI Debug Tokens, select an App or endpoint scope, set a short expiration, and copy the token once.

02

Listen from your machine

Log in with the token and point the CLI at your local service, such as 127.0.0.1:3000. The Endpoint path and query are preserved.

03

Trigger real work

Create a Task Run, publish an Event, or wait for a Schedule. Matching deliveries can go through the CLI session first and write results back to EdgeCron.

CLI debug session
localhost
# 1. Use the token generated in the dashboard
edgecron-cli login --token edc_dbg_your_debug_token

# 2. Keep a local forwarding session online
edgecron-cli listen --port 3000 --name billing-local

# 3. Replay a captured request to your app
edgecron-cli replay req_abc123 --port 3000

No tunnel

No ngrok needed

Scope

App or endpoint

Replay

By request ID

Preserves routing

The CLI keeps the original Endpoint path and query, with optional path-prefix support for local route layouts.

Writes back results

Local status code, response body, duration, timeout, or forwarding error becomes visible in the Delivery Attempt result.

Replay locally

Use a CLI request ID to replay payloads to your local service without creating a new Task Run.

Short-lived access

Debug Tokens are separate from API keys and can be scoped, expired, revoked, and inspected from the dashboard.

If the CLI session is unavailable or times out, the Gateway path does not replace normal cloud delivery. Trigger through a Task Run, Event, Schedule, API, or SDK so the EdgeCron Worker CLI hook is used.

Quickstart

From API key to reliable delivery in minutes

Create a key, schedule a task, listen locally, and replay failed callbacks from the dashboard. The same workflow works across API, SDKs, and CLI.

Create an API key

Generate scoped credentials in the dashboard and use them from your server, CI job, or background worker.

Schedule an HTTP task

Send target URL, payload, delay, and retry limit. EdgeCron stores the task durably before your app returns.

Debug callbacks locally

Use a CLI Debug Token and run edgecron-cli listen --port 3000 to receive scheduled callbacks on localhost without a tunnel.

Replay with context

Inspect delivery status, latency, headers, payloads, and replay failed attempts from the dashboard or API.

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "my-webhook",
"url": "https://api.myapp.com/webhooks/incoming"
}'
 
# 2. Schedule a task
curl -X POST https://api.edgecron.com/v1/tasks \
-H "X-Key-ID: ak_xxx" \

Event metering

A trigger is one API-created task, one event publish, or one schedule fire that creates work. Outbound fan-out and automatic retry attempts are not counted again.

Rate limits

Accounts are protected by per-plan rate limits. The API returns 429 with retry guidance when a limit is exceeded.

Cancellation

Paid plans can be cancelled from the dashboard. Access continues through the current billing period.

Comparison framework

Choose EdgeCron when HTTP delivery is the job

Comparison pages should be factual and based on official vendor material. EdgeCron is scoped to outbound scheduled webhook and reliable HTTP delivery, not a full inbound webhook gateway.

Best fit

EdgeCron is best when you need scheduled HTTP requests, outbound webhook retries, trigger-based billing, free fan-out/retries, DLQ replay, local callback debugging, and simple SaaS pricing.

Not the only answer

If a team needs hosted Source URLs for receiving third-party webhooks, a full workflow engine, event bus, queue system, or broad background job runtime, compare scope carefully before migrating.

Facts to verify

Before publishing direct competitor pages, confirm current pricing, limits, retry semantics, retention, SLA, and support terms from each official source.

Direct comparison pages

Indexed comparison pages help buyers evaluate EdgeCron against products they already know, while keeping the language factual and scoped.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

REFUND AGREEMENT

Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: March 20, 2026

EdgeCron is a digital SaaS service. This policy explains how subscriptions, cancellations, and billing disputes are handled. For questions, email support@edgecron.com.

1. What You Are Purchasing

EdgeCron is a digital subscription service (SaaS). You are purchasing access to EdgeCron's API, dashboard, and scheduled HTTP delivery infrastructure - not a physical product. Access is granted immediately upon payment. No physical shipping is involved.

2. Billing Errors & Eligible Refunds

If you believe there is a billing error, duplicate charge, or the service is not functioning as documented, contact us within 7 days of the charge at support@edgecron.com. For eligible cases, we may issue a partial or full refund after reviewing logs and usage. We will reply within 3-5 business days.

3. Subscription, Auto-Renewal & Cancellation

Paid plans are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically on your billing date. To cancel: go to your dashboard -> Billing -> Cancel Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period - you keep access until then. No refunds are issued for the remaining days of a paid period once cancelled, unless required by law. The Free plan never auto-charges and does not require a credit card.

4. Chargebacks & Disputes

Please contact support@edgecron.com before opening a payment dispute. We are committed to resolving issues quickly. Opening a dispute without contacting us first often delays resolution and may trigger account suspension.
