From 0c9a5f224a850d584b0d67adeeca58a7a94b9b27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rcg798 <5733407+rcg798@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:05:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Update job-scheduler.md Coming newly into the orchestration team, I am updating the initial description of the scheduler types to better align with how users may view the product today: 1. we refer to merge jobs as merge jobs (and it is an explicit category in the UI) so I think it would be useful to call out that term in the beginning, so people associate that type of job with its name and 2. another event-based job is job completion (another explicit category in the UI) and I couldn't tell how that fit into the initial description, so added that as well. Feel free to revise, just wanted to flag those two points! --- website/docs/docs/deploy/job-scheduler.md | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/website/docs/docs/deploy/job-scheduler.md b/website/docs/docs/deploy/job-scheduler.md index 7d45fddc3f6..fb351703624 100644 --- a/website/docs/docs/deploy/job-scheduler.md +++ b/website/docs/docs/deploy/job-scheduler.md @@ -11,7 +11,8 @@ The job scheduler is the backbone of running jobs in dbt Cloud, bringing power a The scheduler enables both cron-based and event-driven execution of dbt commands in the user’s data platform.
