Run app automatically in a day using cron job

[shop_dev1]

Hello All,

I have created a small app in my local server, When I open app or refresh the app page feature is working fine. But now I want to do this using Cron Job so in a day which I have set a time for eg: every day 12:00 PM  automatically app run and do as per set feature in code.

Can anyone help me in this ?

You can schedule a AWS Lambda function for the same to run this at a particular time.

Other options could be setting a cron schedule in cron tab of your server in cloud platform.
