Job that runs every 2 hours, but spawns new jobs? Use node-cron or Bullmq?

I have a situation in which, every 2 hours, I need to fetch records in the database, and for each record create a job.

Now I saw that BullMQ has repeatable jobs, is it considered a good idea to use BullMQ repeatable job to spawn other jobs?
Or is it easier to just use node-cron to create the necessary jobs every 2 hours?

I use that pattern in my places and it works nicely.

Btw, I think the best is to keep one queue dedicated only for the repeatable job that will spawn new jobs, that gets easy to debug and maintain later on.

Thanks @manast ! I'm going to give it a shot. Is it a public repo, in which you're doing this? Would love to have a look if it is!
