NestJS Scheduling

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of running scheduled tasks reliably in distributed environments, preventing duplicate job execution and ensuring task robustness.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Distributed Cron Jobs: Prevents cron jobs from running on multiple instances simultaneously using Redis-based distributed locking.
• Job Isolation & Robustness: Offloads heavy processing to background queues (like BullMQ) to avoid blocking the event loop and ensures proper error handling.
• Use Case: Ensure a daily report generation task runs only once per day, even if multiple application instances are active, and that any failures in processing are caught and logged without crashing the application.

Quick Start

Configure the NestJS Scheduling skill to use Redis for distributed locking on the '@Cron' decorated method.
