"I'm too elite to use cron and bash scripts. If it doesn't require npm to install and an AWS account, I don't bother."

Seriously, it takes all of 10 minutes of reading the cron and related man pages to figure this out. (and your Lambda code needed the exact same syntax for cron! )

And you already have a MongoDB server running, so it is not really any additional server config time to do it.

Yeah, I find that hilarious. Cron is probably over of the simplest unix-y things you will ever encounter.

I am also getting tired of this "npm all things" mentality. I don't want to install npm and a ton of npm packages to do something that has nothing to do with web development and java script.
