Kubernetes Cron Jobs: Going from Alpha to Production

Speaker: Franklin Hu

Abstract

Stripe runs many critical production scheduled tasks using Kubernetes Cron Jobs. These do everything from monitoring to moving money across the globe, with stringent requirements for reliability and timeliness.

In this presentation, we’ll discuss our methodology for evaluating Kubernetes as well as things we learned during the course of setting up clusters, shaking out bugs, and ultimately migrating our production workloads.
