import io.nitric.Nitric;
import io.nitric.faas.v0.Frequency;

public class Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Can be defined as a rate using `.every()`
    Nitric.INSTANCE.schedule("send-reminders").every(3, Frequency.Minutes, (ctx) -> {
      // add code to run here
      return ctx;
    });

    // Can be defined as a cron expression using `.cron()`
    Nitric.INSTANCE.schedule("archive-orders").cron("0 1 1 * *", (ctx) -> {
      // add code to run here
      return ctx;
    });

    Nitric.run();
