The AMP CMS Cron App is similiar to the Admin App in that it runs on the same servers and is built on NodeJS, but has a pretty simple job. The app uses the same MongoDB as the AMP Admin App to grab a list of all websites and pings each site's wp-cron.php file, triggering any pending scheduled wordpress events at that moment. Wordpress has a semblance of scheduled tasks, and normally traffic to the site triggers cron tasks, but on AMP CMS we've specifically set aside backend servers for triggering Cron events.
