KEDA ScaledJob API is one of 5 APIs that [KEDA](https://apis.io/providers/keda/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Auto-Scaling, CRD, Job, and Kubernetes. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a JSON-LD context, an API reference, and 1 JSON Schema.

The ScaledJob custom resource defines the mapping between an event source and Kubernetes Jobs that should be created in response to events. Unlike ScaledObject, ScaledJob creates new Job instances to process each unit of work rather than scaling existing long-running deployments, making it suited for batch workloads.
