Node.js how to make an event execute at a specific time?

Question

Node.js

Let's say there is an event that should be executed in n-th number of seconds on the server. How is this implemented in Node.js? Only through setInterval or maybe there are some other options?

Answer 1

well, setInterval and setTimeout,
why is it bad? It starts in a separate thread and spins there - well)
in fact, how else to measure the exact number of seconds?
You can, of course, respond to a request to the server. But then you need to ensure a uniform distribution of requests (setInterval =) )

Answer 2

If the question is about performing actions on a schedule, then - schedule
If about the delay in seconds, Dmitry correctly suggested everything to you.
