Unveiling Experiment Schedules: Streamlining Workflows Like Never Before

In our continuous journey to enhance user experience and eliminate bottlenecks, we proudly present our latest addition: Experiment Schedules. A feature designed with both simplicity and flexibility in mind, poised to revolutionize how you manage your experimental workflows.

Scheduling Made Simple

The beauty of Experiment Schedules lies in its intuitive approach to managing experiments. Users can now “Schedule Experiment” effortlessly, either for a distinct moment in the near future or on a consistent, repeating cycle.

Single Occurrence

The “Once” option is your go-to for those seeking a one-time setup. Need to run an experiment tonight at 10 p.m.? We have you covered. This feature is perfect for:

• Ad-hoc tests: Quickly validate changes without setting up complex schedules.
• Time-specific experiments: Ideal for scenarios where timing is critical.

Recurring Schedules

However, the “Recurrently” option is a game-changer for experiments that need consistent repetition. Schedule your experiments by using well-known crontab expressions. This allows you to, e.g., schedule the experiment for every Friday at noon or perhaps every weekday at 10 p.m. – the choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless.

• Daily checks: Ensure regular validation of system stability.
• Weekly maintenance: Automate routine tasks to maintain performance.

Crafted from Valuable Feedback

This innovation isn’t just a result of our drive for perfection; it’s a testament to the power of community feedback. Many of you voiced the need for reduced manual operations, a sentiment we often heard: “And then I realized that I want to do less manual work.” We listened, and Experiment Schedules is our answer to that call.

By incorporating your insights, we have:

• Streamlined processes: Reduced manual intervention significantly.
• Enhanced productivity: Freed up valuable time for more critical tasks.

Alleviating Concerns

We recognize that introducing automation can bring its own set of apprehensions. The fear of unintentionally impacting other teams or services is real. However, with Experiment Schedules, these worries are put to rest. Our automated system was meticulously designed to guarantee timely and accurate execution, ensuring your other processes remain undisturbed.

Key safeguards include:

• Precision timing: Ensures experiments run exactly when scheduled.
• Isolation protocols: Prevent unintended interactions with other services.

Aiming for the Future

Our goal has always been clear: empower users to identify risks early and emphasize automation. Your enthusiasm for a “continuous and automatic” experiment management system was the final piece of motivation we needed. With Experiment Schedules, this dream is realized, and we’ve also laid the foundation for many more advancements to come.

So, dive in, explore, and tell us what you think. After all, it’s your feedback that drives us forward.
