Can Firebase/Parse run code at a certain time every day?

Question

Is it possible on Firebase or Parse to set up something kinda like a cron job? Is there a way to set up some sort of timed operation that runs over the stored user data?

Answer 1

Just to confirm about Firebase:

As @rickerbh said, it can be done with Parse, but currently there is no way for you to run your code on Firebase's server. There are 2 options for you 2 solve this:

1. You could use Firebase Queue and run your code in Node.js
2. You could use a different library such as Microsoft Azure (I still haven't tried this yet, I'm not sure if it provides Job Scheduling for Android)

However, Firebase is working on something called Firebase Trigger, which will solve our problem, however it is still not released with no confirmed release date.
