Cron jobs don’t scale well when you’re on Kubernetes or in distributed systems — you end up with duplicates, failures, and a mess. We built Schedo to solve this and much more: a cloud scheduler that just works, without extra complexity. It’s designed to handle scale and reliability without you having to juggle locks, queues, or overkill third-party tools.

Are you saying cronjobs in Kubernetes doesn't scale well? Specifically this core resource here is what I'm wondering about: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/cr...

I just don't see what doesn't "scale" exactly here. Been using k8s for 7 years, never had a problem that wasn't my own fault. Even for parallel processing, I feel like there's so many options and patterns to use because it depends on the task the job does.
