One of the most requested features in a data integration tool is greater flexibility around the scheduling of packages and workflows. With Xplenty, this can be achieved through the use of our Cron Expression scheduling feature. Cron is a software utility that enables Unix-based operation systems, such as Linux, to use a job scheduler. You can create cron jobs, which execute a script or command at a time of your choosing. Cron has broad applications for tasks that need time-based automation.

AWS provides many solutions for managing business data. There’s Amazon Relational Database, or Amazon RDS, which is ideal for scaling your databases on the cloud.

Today’s businesses often rely on hundreds of digital assets, including legacy systems and new applications that streamline their processes. However, you can’t rely on your SaaS apps, microservices, and systems to integrate themselves. Instead, you need an API solution built for full lifecycle API management. Microsoft Azure API Management and 3scale get a lot of positive reviews from users.
