Hi,

I am developing an API with NestJS that will have several cron jobs in it. I would like to host my API on Amazon Web Services using ECS with an application load balancer. However from my understanding, each docker container in ECS will run the cron job which could result in concurrency issues not to mention that each job only needs to run once. Any suggestions how I could solve this issue?

Thanks!

Use a queue like BullQueue and leverage Cronjobs / Repeatable jobs
