An alternative to deferred work for a simple cron task on a hero?

Question

An alternative to deferred work for a simple cron task on a hero?

In my Rails application on Heroku, I want to execute a simple block of code in 5 specific cases in the future (every day for one day), up to the second.

Is there a good way to do this without a background process?

I do not want to use the Delayed Job, because this will require a copy of Worker, which costs ~ $ 30 per month. Seems unnecessary.

Is there a good way to do this without a Delayed Job / Heroku Worker?

Thanks for your answers - there seems to be no reliable way to accomplish this. Transition with a delay in work.

Old question, but ...

Perhaps he can solve your problems: Sucker Punch .

You don't need an extra dino on Heroku. And you can specify the time between 5 blocks.
