# I'm using heroku for serving the live audience (app in playstore, see readme for link) | |
# Since I'm running on a free-tire mode heroku will shutdown the app after some amount of inactivity. | |
# so user logging in during that time have to face atleaset one api call failure before proceeding, which is causing bad experience. | |
# hence created this action to invoke my backend every 5 minute to keep the service alive. | |
