I have a python script that takes about a minute to run, and I run it every hour. Currently, I've been using render.com and airplane.dev since they have cloud cron and serverless scheduled functions respectively. However, I intend to begin hosting a website and database to manage my app, and want to bring every service under one cloud provider. Does digitalocean intend to increase the serverless function duration past 5 seconds? It seems like they're already moving in the right direction after adding schedules, but I haven't seen any reasoning about why functions are locked to 5 seconds. Any responses appreciated!
