Vercel Schedules Enters Public Beta as Successor to Cron Jobs
Vercel introduced Schedules on November 4, 2026 and moved it to public beta on November 5, 2026. It is positioned as the successor to Cron Jobs, which continue to run, and Vercel has published a migration guide without forcing a cutover. Schedules adds per-schedule IANA time zones, private function targets, runtime creation and cancellation via an SDK, CLI, or API, and toggling without redeploying. Paid usage is metered, and migration mainly involves reshaping vercel.json, with the key pitfall being that path schedules default to POST rather than GET. Developers are warned not to run crons and schedules for the same work simultaneously, as this can cause duplicate executions.
