# scheduler

# `prefect.server.services.scheduler`

The Scheduler service.

This service schedules flow runs from deployments with active schedules.

## Functions

### `schedule_deployments` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/services/scheduler.py#L210" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
schedule_deployments(perpetual: Perpetual = Perpetual(automatic=False, every=timedelta(seconds=get_current_settings().server.services.scheduler.loop_seconds))) -> None
```

Main scheduler - schedules flow runs from deployments with active schedules.

Schedule flow runs by:

* Querying for deployments with active schedules
* Generating the next set of flow runs based on each deployment's schedule
* Inserting all scheduled flow runs into the database

### `schedule_recent_deployments` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/services/scheduler.py#L286" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
schedule_recent_deployments(perpetual: Perpetual = Perpetual(automatic=False, every=timedelta(seconds=get_current_settings().server.services.scheduler.recent_deployments_loop_seconds))) -> None
```

Recent deployments scheduler - schedules deployments that were updated very recently.

This scheduler runs on a tight loop and ensures that runs from newly-created or
updated deployments are rapidly scheduled without waiting for the main scheduler.

Note that scheduling is idempotent, so it's okay for this scheduler to attempt
to schedule the same deployments as the main scheduler.

## Classes
