Wanting to save some data every 30 days from an external game server on my t3 app server database.

So I have a function that gets the 'total accounts' from an external api, every 30 days I want to save that number to my prisma database (running on the create-t3-app server), what would be a smart way to save this data I am thinking I would need to check if its been 30 days since the last data save, if yes then insert a new value with the date If not then wait ? But I am not sure how to do this properly

If you dont want to setup someone sort of outside cron jobs, you could use https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-cron

I do recommend dedicated crons though 🙂
