Message periodic scanner
Hey!
I am trying to figure out if I there is a better way to handle my case:
User can create suggestion on my server.
The suggestion is creates using a form and return an embedded message.
Each suggestion has and expiry date and users can vote on it, once the expiry date has been reached the suggestion is removed from the channel and moved to approved/ denied channels.
All of that is currently working, but I feel that my solution can be improved.
Currently the bot scans every x amount of time the messages in the channel and see the suggestions expiry date has reached to handle it.
I am trying to find a better way of handling it like cron jobs or another bot that only run scans and triggers actions on the main bot.
Thanks you for the help!

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.

Redis would probably be the fastest for this case,but in the slightest scale or different use case I might want a difference db.
Any recommendations for db that integrates well with discord.js
Also should the cron run from the bot or from a different service that would trigger an action on the bot?
Like a job scheduler and worker
Abd thank you!
