Split into small files or shove into one?

Question

Node.js

In general, now the task is to do such a thing. There are 4 different options for the behavior of the program, for example the first one: the program makes a request to api 1, makes a request to api 2, makes a request to api 4. And so once every 15 minutes. Program two: makes an api request 3, an api request 4, and so once every 15 minutes, etc.
That is, 4 programs with the same requests, but made in a different order and they should work every 15 minutes. And in the end, I need to get information from them. Now I did it very stupidly, 4 functions and they hang on setInterval, and the information is stored in a global array. It seems to me that this idea does not look very nice, I think, but what if we put them all in separate files? It's more beautiful, but there's a problem with their launch and communication. For example, how can I find out the current state of node3 without any databases. In general, tell me how you would do

Answer 1

I would move the common code into a separate module.
