Does Spacelift support Quartz-style cron expressions?
Last updated: September 16, 2025
Spacelift does not fully support Quartz-style cron expressions for scheduled actions and drift detection. While Spacelift uses standard five-field cron expressions, it does not support advanced Quartz features such as:
Lfor "last" occurrences (e.g., "the last Monday of the month")#for nth day specifications
Spacelift's cron parser expects standard cron syntax and cannot handle these extended Quartz-specific features.
