One approach that could be better is using **serverless** products. As your application has a scheduler that triggers it, you don't need it up and running full-time. This way, you can **save money and resources**. For example, I deployed the application at **Heroku** and used **EasyCron** to trigger it every half hour. Between one each trigger, the instance is turned off. I hope I have opened your mind to new ideas. =\] Bests [Sarah](https://hashnode.com/@sarahcodes) [Dec 2, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/create-a-twitter-bot-with-python/6369338a19d4e268a7629053/comment/637796c94ecc88853c130511#reply-638a56d51338cf81a876540a) Hello Victor! I think that is a good alternative. AWS is great until the free tier runs out! ;) I have not heard of EasyCron before so thank you for sharing.
