This project showcases task scheduling using node-cron for sending daily birthday wishes. Task scheduling is useful in various real-life scenarios, such as:
- Subscription Renewals: Schedule reminders for subscription renewals, preventing service interruptions for users with expiring subscriptions.
- Payment Processing: Automate recurring payment processing for subscriptions or services with fixed billing intervals.
- Data Backups: Schedule regular data backups to prevent data loss and ensure the integrity of your application.
- Email Campaigns: Plan and execute targeted email campaigns by scheduling email deliveries at specific times.
- Maintenance Tasks: Schedule routine maintenance tasks, such as database cleanup or index optimization, during low-traffic periods.
