Hi

I was trying to deploy a scheduler on Netlify , so that i can perform an event once a month. While testing, it doesn’t seems to be running. Heres my code ( Schduler that starts at midnight and runs every hour after that.

const schedule = require('node-schedule');
const moment = require('moment');

const cron_expression = '* * 0/1 * * *';

exports.handler = async (event, context, callback) => {

    var job = schedule.scheduleJob(cron_expression, function () {

      //MY TASKS HERE


        var nextInvovationTime = job.nextInvocation();
        console.log("Next Invocation : ", getIndianStandartTime(nextInvovationTime.toDate()));


        console.log('The answer to life, the universe, and everything is Keep Calm & Drink Beer');


    });
    var nextInvovationTime = job.nextInvocation();
    console.log("Next Invocation : ", getIndianStandartTime(nextInvovationTime.toDate()));
    return {
        statusCode: 200,
        body: "Schduler ON",
    }
}

function getIndianStandartTime(utcTime) {
    d = new Date();
    nd = new Date(utcTime + (3600000 * +5.5));
    return moment(nd).format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a")
}

Is it possible run a schduler in Netlify. So this schedule will turn on hitting the scheduler url and once its on, it shoudl do my task at specified time. Any alternatives are there ?
