# Scheduler

Scheduler is a job automation tool built in to LUSID.

You can write code to perform any operation, for example upserting transactions into LUSID from a trade file. You can then create a *job* in LUSID by uploading a Docker image containing that code, and subsequently *schedule* that job to run automatically.

The LUSID ecosystem consists of [multiple applications](/v1/docs/understanding-all-the-applications-in-the-finbourne-platform), each with their own API. The code in your job can call any endpoint in either the core LUSID or the Identity or Access APIs. (Alternatively, your job could perform a non-LUSID operation.)

Providing you have appropriate [access control permissions](/v1/docs/setting-up-access-control-for-different-scheduler-users), you can interact with Scheduler using the [LUSID web app](https://www.lusid.com/app/home), via the **Jobs & Scheduling** menu:

Alternatively, you can interact with Scheduler programmatically:

- Using the [Scheduler REST API](https://www.lusid.com/docs/api/scheduler/intro)
- Using the [Scheduler SDK](/v1/docs/understanding-all-the-applications-in-the-finbourne-platform) in various languages
- If you have a Luminesce license, using dedicated [read and write providers](/v1/docs/readwrite-to-scheduler-scheduler).
