Use cases

Developer building a real-time integration on Odoo 18

Situation
A real-time integration needs to check for new data and process it within a few seconds, but Odoo's standard cron system only supports intervals of one minute or longer.
How we solve it
Installs the Sub-minute Scheduler to run the integration job at second-level intervals, without needing to replace the existing standard cron jobs elsewhere in the system.

System administrator concerned about added server load from faster scheduling

Situation
Running jobs more frequently is often assumed to add significant server overhead, which makes teams hesitant to shorten cron intervals.
How we solve it
Uses the module's lightweight execution and low overhead design to run jobs at second-level intervals without a heavy resource cost, compatible with the standard cron jobs already in place.
