Q. How I am doing the scheduling?

  • I used a new node package AgendaJs. Why not traditional function such as setTimeout(), because in setTimeout(), we lose our job when the process restarts. AgendaJs uses a MongoDB database to schedule tasks so that even if the server goes down, the task will still run at the specified time or intervals.

Q. Why I chose the Mongodb Database?

  • The first reason is, we use JavaScript in writing mongodb codes which is same for nodejs and fronted development. I didn't had to learn a new programming language.
  • It is a noSql database.
