An idiomatic C++ client library forCloud Scheduler, a service that creates and manages jobs run on a regular recurring schedule.
While this library isGA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/scheduler/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Scheduler API C++ client library API.
The main class in this library isscheduler_v1::CloudSchedulerClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mockscheduler_v1::CloudSchedulerClientwhen testing your application.
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and usesexponential backoffto backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
