How can I schedule periodic tasks in my application?

You can use libraries like cron in Node.js or schedule in Python to set up periodic tasks.

Can you give me an example of using cron in Node.js?

Sure! You can use the 'node-cron' package. Here's a simple example: const cron = require('node-cron'); cron.schedule('*/5 * * * *', () => { console.log('Task running every 5 minutes'); });

What if I want to run a task every day at a specific time?

You can set the cron expression to something like '0 9 * * *' to run it every day at 9 AM.

Are there any alternatives to cron for scheduling tasks?

Yes, you can use libraries like Agenda or Bull for more complex scheduling needs.
