Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 Possible to pass parameters along with cron?

• 🧵 Cron Job Execution Limits for Production Scraping Use Case

• 🧵 Migrate from PM2 to railway?

• 🧵 Recent Execution Won't Stop Running

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hi there, can you please share a link to the project you're experiencing issues with, and ideally a screenshot?

you can check the record for this project. at first i use 3 instanace but all my cron job calculation x3, i already change back to 1 instance

For your use case, you would want to break out the cron job into its own service.

I will open this thread up to the community so that they can help you with the implementation.

are you stupid? i put private you simply put public without my concern?

fuck you railway

hey, you can implement this using railway's function method which can automatically run your cron jobs, you can read up on it here

alternatively, you can split your existing service into another worker service with node, looking like:

// worker/index.js

const cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('*/5 * * * *', async () => {

console.log('cron tick');

// do work

});

process.stdin.resume(); // keep process alive if needed

you'd have to assign it a different start command, which can be found here on how to implement
