Hi there,

I am trying to set up a cron job which will automatically do something every 1 hour in NextJS serverside. Where would I set up the functionality for this? https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-cron

Thank in advance!

Note: I am aware of vercels cron, I am not deploying on vercel.

you can't, because nextjs is completely serverless
