# Run durable Python agent schedules with APScheduler

Schedule recurring, interval, calendar, and one-off Python agent jobs with persistent job stores so background workflows survive restarts.

## Prerequisites

Python, APScheduler, optional persistent data store such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, MQTT, or a Python web service runtime

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Advanced Python Scheduler (APScheduler) is a task scheduler and task queue system for
- Python. It can be used solely as a job queuing system if you have no need for task
- node restarts.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Jitter (adjustable, random delays added to the run time of each scheduled job)
