# Vercel Schedules public beta release

Vercel released Vercel Schedules, which lets agents and applications create, change or cancel one-time and recurring schedules through code while the application is still running, without redeploying. Vercel Cron Jobs previously kept timing in vercel.json or Build Output API configuration and synced on deploy, while dynamic scheduling required a separate database and a polling job to find due work. Schedules records when to trigger a task and where to send it, and Vercel delivers the saved request through Queues when it is due, with application code checking permissions and doing the work; the product is in public beta.
