Working with Cron Functions

Build a web news application that automatically fetches news from a third-party service periodically using Catalyst Cron, a Cron Function, and an Advanced I/O Function.

Deploy the Project

To deploy your Catalyst project from the CLI, run the following command in your terminal from your project directory (CATALYST_PROJECT_HOME):

$ catalyst deploy

The functions are deployed first, followed by the client component. The production URLs of the components are displayed.

You can now open the client component's URL in a browser to access the deployed application. The news application can now be accessed from its web app URL.
