Scheduled jobs · Reference
86 scheduled jobs across two systems. Each job lives in exactly one.
Fonteum runs scheduled work across two cron systems: Inngest (for jobs that need step-level retries, event emission, or observability) and Vercel cron (for lightweight HTTP-only operations). Ownership is decided by the AGENTS.md §cron-doctrine decision tree; the tools/cron-ownership-check.sh CI gate blocks any job that lands in both systems or is missing from this page.
1. Inngest functions (65)
Step-orchestrated work — retries, observability, event emission.
Inngest owns work that needs structured failure handling. Source pullers (network can flap), identity-linker (multi-step batch), webhook-deliverer (per-recipient retry), and citation-discoverer (rate-limited external API) all rely on Inngest’s step primitives + dashboard observability.

3. Picking a system
Decision tree per AGENTS.md §cron-doctrine.
- Does the job need step-level retries, idempotency, or step-orchestration? → Inngest.
- Does the job emit events that downstream Inngest functions consume? → Inngest.
- Does the job need observability beyond simple HTTP-200/non-200? → Inngest.
- Lightweight HTTP-only operation that completes in seconds with no external failure modes? → Vercel cron.
When unclear, default to Inngest — it is strictly more capable. The tools/cron-ownership-check.shCI gate blocks any job that lands in both systems and any job that is missing from this page’s registry.
