Agenda is a lightweight job scheduling library for Node.js that stores jobs in MongoDB, providing persistence across restarts. As the creator of CoreUI with over 10 years of Node.js experience since 2014, I’ve used Agenda for email campaigns, report generation, and recurring maintenance tasks in production applications. The standard approach defines job processors, schedules jobs with cron expressions or intervals, and monitors execution with event listeners. This provides durable scheduled task execution with minimal overhead.
