The code used in the Cron Connector blog post for reference uploaded here.

Lockbot

This repository contains the source code for the Keep your functions running to schedule with the cron-connector. blog post.

What is this bot doing

This bot locks outdated issues in github on a schedule.

The schedule

The function has annotations:

    annotations:
      topic: cron-function
      schedule: "*/1 * * * *"

In order to be recognized by the cron-connector and to be ran on the cron schedule pointed in the configuration */1 * * * * which means once a minute.

The locking

The environmental variables:

    environment:
      github_repository: push2
      inactive_days: 90

define how much days are needed since the last comment in order to consider issue outdated. The repository I chose is my testing ground called push2 which I consider GitHub API playground.

How to create my own schedule

There is pretty cool site called crontab guru you can find it here which translates in a verbose way the schedule you created.
