Framework recomendations for jobs running with NodeJS

Hey everyone!

I want to write a Node backend. It's not going to be a REST API but more like a couple of services that run as jobs on certain intervals and update database tables.

I initially thought about using Express since it's the goto for Node but I'm now considering fastify.

Do you think it would be a good option for my case ?

I've never written code similar to this (I normally do FullStack with NextJS) so I'm not sure even if I need a framework on top of node given that I'm not making a REST API but rather running some jobs on intervals.

To make things more clear, here's the functionality I'm looking to implement:

A couple of jobs running on set intervals. Perhaps they interact with eachother so they run one after the other.
Authentication
Logging

Could be more but that's what I got for now. Definitely no REST APIs used by clients
