I am trying to add a guardian process for my NextJS application. it will start with the launch of my nextjs application, and then perform some jobs regularly(like backup data).
But I didn't find some "callback" or "eventListener" to let me call my startup function.
I tried to execute the startup function in pages/_app.tsx, but it was called every time when user accessed it, not only once when the nextjs application started.
The following is my expectation:
- Call only once when the entire nextjs application is started.
- No need to use a custom backend.(There are already a lot of code accumulated on the default server of Next)
- Can use the ability provided by Next, such as
TypeScript,Babel,export/import, etc. - The code in the nextjs application can directly Import related its function and use.
Can anyone provide some inspiration?
