If it took less than 5 minutes to boot then I can't see why it wouldn't work.

How would that work for other schedulers? Also, if a server reboots that's quite bad all round anyway. Hopefully you'd be notified directly.

I think on the contrary, it's important to build software that's resilient to random reboots: you can't control things like losing power or your CPU failing, so the less toil you have to manage around that the better.

Other schedulers have a durable database of attempted runs. This doesn't seem to have anything like that.

From its docs, I understand that it has a task status logging layer[1] which can persist to SQL/Mongo (using another framework called Red Bird[2]). I haven't tried them out though.

Would you have a recommendation for an easy to use Python scheduler with such a feature for a personal project?

I think you can create ephemeral timers with Systemd if you're on Linux.

Seconding this. I would love a middle tier job scheduler / manager for Python that has persistence. I feel like there's a missing middle between cron+scripts and the enterprise grade tooling built for ETL tasks.

https://www.prefect.io/ is also pretty easy.
