Keep Server Alive [ONRENDER]

Overview

Free services deployed on Render.com are spun down after periods of inactivity. The implemented solution is to ping the endpoint at regular intervals.

Installation

To install and execute the service locally, follow these instructions:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/KunalRajput-git/keep-server-alive.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd keep-server-alive
   

3. Install dependencies using npm:

   npm install
   

4. Start the server:

   npm start
   

Usage & Configuration

• After cloning it locally, add your endpoints inside constants.js.
• Deploy it onrender.
