We Don’t Run Cron Jobs (2016)

We switched from Heroku Scheduler (very limited cron) to a system called Sidekiq Cron[1] (if we used Sidekiq Enterprise we would use the built-in scheduler). All Sidekiq Cron does is drop a job into the queue on a given interval. We also use HireFire to auto-scale our workers as necessary to keep things running.

We use Sidekiq's scheduled jobs[1] to replace the cron dependency in our codebase. Did you try it before opting for Sidekiq Cron?
