One benefit of Airflow over cron for even simple use cases like that is the ability to see run history success or failure in the dashboard.
Another, for example, is to handle the case where if a cron job gets behind schedule, you might not want it to run twice when it catches. Airflow supports config to make cases like that easy to handle and explicit. *Taylor Edmiston* Blog <https://blog.tedmiston.com/> | CV <https://stackoverflow.com/cv/taylor> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/tedmiston/> | AngelList <https://angel.co/taylor> | Stack Overflow <https://stackoverflow.com/users/149428/taylor-edmiston> On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 2:32 AM Shrinath agarwal <[email protected]> wrote: > Is it good practice or situation to use Airflow to schedule simple Cron Job > to run every 12 0 clock (based on time zone ) . > > -- > > Thanks and Regards, > > > > Shri Nath Agarwal > > Mobile 9482060723 >
