# Delays

> Delays can be used to wait for a certain amount of time before continuing a Run.

[Runs](/documentation/concepts/runs) can be paused using delays. They can be very long.

Delays works even if you're on a serverless platform with timeouts, or if your server goes down. They utilize [resumability](/documentation/concepts/resumability) to ensure that the Run can be resumed after the delay.
