### FAQ
* Q: I'm running multiple pods on a distributed environment. How can I make a job not run once per pod causing duplication?
* A: We recommend using your own lock solution within the jobs themselves (you could use [Redis](https://redis.io/topics/distlock), for example)
* Q: I've removed my job from the scheduler, but how can I stop a long-running job that has already been triggered?
* A: We recommend using a means of canceling your job, e.g. a `context.WithCancel()`.
