OxFlow tasks can happen as often as every minute. This frequency is a decision that gets made based on a few important considerations:
- Time to complete the task
- Some tasks end up grouping tasks (1 to many) and can be hard to predict in terms of time to complete.
- If a task is variable in its duration of runtime, we’d plan a wider time cycle.
- Example:
- The task takes from 3 to 34 minutes depending on some external factor
- We’d suggest scheduling that task for no more than every 90 minutes
- Business Needs
- The business need should be driving our design and implementaiton.
- Austerity Mindedness
- “Least expensive” is our motto.
- If there is no need for often, lets not schedule it often.
