For running Python scripts on schedule or as APIs, what do you use?

Just curious, if you’ve written a Python script (say for scraping, data cleaning, sending reports, automating alerts, etc.), how do you usually go about:

Running it on a schedule (daily, hourly, etc)? Exposing it as an API (to trigger remotely or integrate with another tool/app)?

Do you:

Use GitHub Actions or cron? Set up Flask/FastAPI + deploy somewhere like Render? Use Replit, AWS Lambda, or something else?

Also: would you ever consider paying (like $5–10/month) for a tool that lets you just upload your script and get:

A private API endpoint Auth + input support Optional scheduling (like “run every morning at 7 AM”) all without needing to write YAML or do DevOps stuff?

I’m trying to understand what people prefer. Would love your thoughts! 🙏
