So, this chapter shows the methods used to deploy and schedule your Talend code once you have fully coded and tested it.

This, chapter covers two main topics required to execute our Talend jobs in real-world environments; how to generate executable code that can be used within a scheduling tool or script, and how to create schedules within Talend if we wish to use Talend for scheduling.
