agenda VS dayjs

While many ways to write scalable Node.js applications exist, all narrow down to the underlying architecture. However, common hurdles in Node.js include serving static files, task scheduling, and utilizing available resources. To combat these, you can use a tactical approach. Because serving static assets with Node.js takes CPU time, a proxy content delivery network like CloudFront should help fix it. Recurring tasks need to fire events, which isn’t reliable with setTimeout or setInterval. As a solution, you can use a task scheduler framework like agenda.js. To handle resource utilization, you can use the cluster feature in Node.js, which listens to ports, accepts new connections, and distributes them across workers with built-in smarts to avoid overloading the process.

Now we have the materialized view and we need to update it daily. For this, we'll use Agenda, a light-weight job scheduling library for Node.js with Mongo backed persistence layer.

6. agenda

There are many job queue implementations for Node.js, including Bull, Bee, and Agenda.

Agenda JS is an alternative to bull that uses MongoDB rather than redis. Not saying one is better than the other, just giving alternatives.

If processing the file is going to take a relatively long time, you should send it to some asynchronous background process and immediately send a response to the user with status 202, then notify them later somehow if processing the file failed. Agenda is a good candidate for scheduling/managing more complex background tasks like this.

So I thought of 2 approaches, one using [agenda](https://github.com/agenda/agenda] and other using setTimeouts and storing the unique id for particular user in database. I am not sure which of the approach is scalable and maintainable in long run for thousands of users having daily activities.

i think it would be helpful if you provided some links to what you're talking about. How on earth are we supposed to help without knowing which agenda package you're referring to? I went through the agenda github repo and not one of those files mentioned in your post even exists in that repo........

For more advanced use cases, you might want to look into using a full-featured job queue instead like bree, bull, or agenda.

Similar API to Moment.js: Day.js provides a familiar API, making it easier for developers previously using Moment.js to transition.

As web developers, we heavily rely OSS packages. One popular example is Day.js, a JS lib for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It's a widely-used alternative to Moment, with over 17mil weekly downloads on npm.

A critical bug was discovered in Day.js (see: https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/pull/2118) causing incorrect date manipulation (add, subtract) when in UTC TZ. This could have severe implications for any project relying on Day.js for date-related functionality. However, the maintainer of the project appears to be unresponsive, leaving the bug unresolved and the future of the library uncertain.

This raises some important questions for our community:

- At what point should we consider a widely-used OSS project "abandoned" if the maintainer is unresponsive?

- Is forking the project the best solution, or should we first try to reach out to the maintainer through other channels?

- Are there established community guidelines around responsiveness expectations for widely-used OSS projects?

- What are successful examples of community-driven forks or maintenance after a maintainer stepped away?

I am very aware that many of these developers give their spare time for free for these projects, with little or no payment, and I am very thankful for all their work. This developer does get some money (a small amount?) through OpenCollective, and possibly also works for a company (in China?) that makes a UI library, which I think uses Day.js internally.

11. DayJs

DayJS has issues with its timezone plugin not compatible with Hermes engine https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/issues/1942

Date.js

We have to install refine's support packages for React Table and React Hook Form. We are using Tailwind Heroicons for our icons, the Day.js library for time calculations and Recharts library to plot our charts for KPI data. So, run the following and we are good to go:

DayJS is a lightweight and fast JavaScript library for manipulating dates and times. It offers a moment.js-like API but with a much smaller footprint.

I use Day.js in my projects.

well, I haven't reviewed the code, I just checked package.json and I'll suggest you to ditch moment.js Even the creator recommends ditching it. dayjs is a fantastic alternative.
