Things to watch out for in Google Cloud Scheduler
- Weekdays are 0-6 or SUN-SAT, and 7 is also accepted as Sunday.
- Pick the time zone explicitly (the default is UTC). Cloud Scheduler runs on wall-clock time, so a local zone can make jobs run or skip around daylight saving changes.
- Cloud Scheduler takes any tz database zone (default UTC) and runs on wall-clock time, so daylight saving can make jobs run or not run unexpectedly. Google recommends UTC to avoid that.
The common mistake with this schedule
In Quartz and EventBridge, 1 means Sunday, so 0 9 ? * 1 fires on Sunday. Monday is 2, or write MON.
