Migrate from synced-cron to Steve Jobs #216

Closed athyuttamre closed 6 years ago

athyuttamre commented 7 years ago

synced-cron is our background job library, which is used to automatically close queues at a certain time. It's somewhat unreliable though, and notably does not close open queues if the server was restarted while the queue was open.

We should consider migrating to Max Savin's library "Steve Jobs": https://github.com/msavin/SteveJobs...meteor.schedule.background.tasks.jobs.queue
