Running Claude Code as a Kubernetes CronJob: Production Learnings and Open-Sourced Setup
Production Experience with Claude Code as a CronJob
The team behind everyrow.io, an LLM-based research data processing platform, has documented their approach to running Claude Code unattended as a Kubernetes CronJob. They've encountered undocumented quirks through trial and error in production and have open-sourced their complete setup.
Key Components Provided
Their open-sourced repository includes several practical components for production deployment:
- Dockerfile for containerizing Claude Code
- Entrypoint script for container initialization
- Helm chart for Kubernetes deployment
- Logging setup configuration
Production Context
This implementation supports their LLM-based research data processing pipelines at everyrow.io, which they report are helping them find users. The team notes this is the first post in a series focused specifically on infrastructure, with more content to follow.

An OpenClaw user solved agent memory continuity between sessions by implementing a database that stores session data, allowing the agent to query past references instead of storing entire sessions in context. The agent named Sage could remember previous conversations after session resets using this approach.
