Hello
I recently deployed a Backendless Cloud Code timer in JavaScript that was supposed to run every hour & update a few user records. 
The timer appeared in the console & was enabled but it never actually executed. 
No logs, no updates just silence. I confirmed the function was deployed properly and the logic was correct. 
After troubleshooting; I realized that I hadn’t explicitly specified the startDate& frequency properties correctly in the timer.json configuration file. Backendless requires these to be clearly defined, even if you’re deploying via the CLI. 
Once I updated the config and redeployed; the timer fired as expected. This Backendless Timer Configuration Guide was crucial in resolving the issue.
During the process, a teammate who’s newer to programming asked me what is java, since they noticed Backendless also supports Java-based Cloud Code.
It was a good opportunity to explain the difference between Java and JavaScript, especially when working across both environments in the same backend platform.
Thank you !!
