Cron Event

( src/events/every_minute_task.yaml )

# event for Scheduling a task for every minute.
cron.* * * * *.Asia/Kolkata:   # event key
  fn: every_minute

Explanation of Cron Event Configuration:

• cron.*: This is the cron syntax for the field representing minutes. The asterisk (*) in this position means "every minute," so the event is scheduled to run every minute.

• * * * * *: These asterisks represent the other cron fields, which specify the schedule for hours, days of the month, months, and days of the week, respectively.

• Asia/Kolkata: This is a timezone specification. It indicates that the event is scheduled to run in the Asia/Kolkata timezone. Kolkata is a city in India, and this timezone corresponds to the Indian Standard Time (IST).
