add-cron-job

To prevent overlapping cron job executions in Node.js, you need an in-process guard. This scaffold includes built-in locking mechanisms that stop concurrent runs of the same scheduled task.

The best way to configure cron schedules across environments is using environment variables. This scaffold supports env-driven scheduling with an optional ENABLE_CRON_JOBS toggle to control startup.

For distributed locking in multi-instance Node.js deployments, you can enable optional SyncStatus locking. This prevents separate application instances from running the same job simultaneously.

To register a new scheduled task in a Node.js application, you add it to a central job registry. This scaffold automates registration and provides a starter workflow for bootstrapping jobs.

You need a job registry to safely run scheduled maintenance tasks because it centralizes startup and management. This scaffold provides a ready-made registry to reduce boilerplate and misconfigurations.

You can manually trigger a cron job without waiting for its schedule by using a provided manual trigger. This scaffold's workflow includes adding a manual trigger option during job creation.
