alt Hacker Newsit’s actually much more common than you think for people to reuse CI systems for cron tasking.
It’s always a mistake, but it’s easy in the moment and sticks around longer than I’d like.

What about Camunda? It’s a corporate workflow engine.
CI systems like Jenkins are there and they're corp-approved.
Getting a weird 3rd party scheduling system with access to internal stuff approved is HARD in big corps.
So we (ab)use the CI system we have. It has scheduling and it already accesses internal resources.
