Overview
Welcome to Mergent!
Mergent makes it easy for developers to schedule and manage background work without having to spend time setting up, managing, and maintaining complex distributed task queues.
There are two different ways for you to manage work with Mergent: tasks and schedules.

Tasks

Mergent Tasks are used to schedule and invoke one-off web requests via webhooks. Most often, this is a request to a microservice, serverless function, or monolithic web server where the work is performed.

Schedules

Mergent Schedules are used to create tasks on a recurring basis using either cron or RRULE syntax.
