Introducing Cron Triggers for Cloudflare Workers

What this post added

Introduced Cron Triggers for Cloudflare Workers, enabling time-based invocations of Workers without requiring HTTP requests. This feature leverages underutilized machinery in Cloudflare's global network for cost-effective and efficient execution of scheduled jobs. The implementation involves database records for schedules, distributed evaluation across edge nodes, and polling by local runtimes. Future plans include expanding to other trigger types (data, event-based) and further optimizing edge infrastructure selection.
