What’s New
Scheduling within CircleCI is an important way for you to run pipelines. In addition to periodic rebuilds of the application, schedules are useful for security scans and certain utility jobs such as restarting services.
While we currently have a solution, Scheduled Workflows, it has a number of limitations. Scheduled workflows will be more consistent with other methods of triggering pipelines (webhooks/APIs), consolidate common schedules, resolve some open issues in functionality for Scheduled Workflows (no dynamic config, limitations in handling restricted contexts), and will be more reliable.
