digdag should default to UTC timezone? #34

Closed danielnorberg closed 8 years ago

Do people use local timezones in their data pipelines, applications, servers, etc? In my experience local timezone application happens in the presentation layer (UI etc).

Afaik EC2 and GCE default to UTC.

In which case should digdag use UTC are you suggesting? Digdag in local mode uses local timezone if timezone is not set. I think this makes sense. Of course you can overwrite it by setting timezone parameter. Digdag CLI requires users to set timezone explicitly when user pushes a workflow to server. Digdag server itself uses UTC as the default.

since workflow-per-file (#45), default is UTC.
