Schedule based execution with extensible continuation based actions

A system for scheduling a scheduled and optionally periodic action in a remote based system, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer readable media, wherein the one or more computer readable media comprise computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one of the one or more processors cause at least one of the one or more processors to perform the following:
• deploy an environment independent action to a remote based system, wherein the action is limited to using a predetermined amount of resources and is limited to simple, non-cpu intensive orchestrations of network calls;
• define a schedule for the action to be executed;
• and
• call the action at the remote based system based on the schedule in a processor independent fashion such that state of the action is maintained independent of the processor that the action is being executed on.

A system for scheduling a scheduled and optionally periodic action in a remote based system, the system comprising:

• a front end configured to:
• provide a user interface for a user with the system to allow the user to schedule time bound or periodic actions;
• receive user input for remote based time bound or periodic actions;
• and
• provide time bound or periodic actions to a backend;
• a timer resource configured to maintain a schedule for the action to be executed;
• the backend, wherein the backend is configured to call the action at the remote based system based on the schedule in a processor independent fashion such that state of the action is maintained independent of the processor that the action is being executed on.
