What do people use for scheduling tasks in Node world? Doesn’t have to be super heavy duty. I see some options but no clear leaders? Just need it to run some tests on a single server.

Thanks, does that allow for one-off scheduled tasks?

not node; but you may want to look at systemd timers

I would, but I need to throw a couple classes of jobs (and payloads) into it with variable start times. I’m sure I could code enough around cron to support it but seems a bit much?

The cheapest would probably be to use cf worker & put it on a cron schedule? It can either perform the work or make a request to initiate the work, no?

I have had a pretty good experience with bullmq
