Express GraphQL Server with Cron

This project sets up an Express server with GraphQL integration and cron jobs for periodic tasks. It utilizes Node.js, Express.js, GraphQL, and Cron.

Features

• GraphQL API: Exposes a GraphQL API endpoint for querying and mutating data.
• Cron Jobs: Configures cron jobs for executing periodic tasks.
• Database Connectivity: Establishes a connection to the database.
• CORS: Implements Cross-Origin Resource Sharing for handling requests from different origins.
