Under the hood
--------------

[](#under-the-hood)

- Tasks are statically configured via `Cron` class.
- The `CronController` instantiates the `CronManager`
- The `CronManager` loads configured tasks from `Cron` class and on invokation:
    - Instantiates the cron task class (implementing the `ICronTask` interface)
    - Fires the `Cron.beforeTask` event
    - Executes the cron task
    - Fires the `Cron.afterTask` event
