What is cheek?
cheek is a pico-sized, declarative job scheduler designed for single-node environments. It allows users to define and run scheduled jobs using a simple YAML configuration file, providing a lightweight alternative to more complex scheduling systems like cron or distributed job queues. It solves the problem of needing a straightforward, resource-efficient scheduler for basic automation tasks without the overhead of robust, high-availability features.
Developers and system administrators who need a simple, stand-alone job scheduler for single-machine environments, such as personal projects, small servers, or development setups where cron might be too limited or complex systems are overkill.
Developers choose cheek for its extreme simplicity, minimal resource footprint, and declarative YAML-based configuration, which makes it easy to set up and version control. Unlike heavier schedulers, it avoids unnecessary features, focusing solely on being a lightweight, reliable tool for basic job automation.
