TTL on records

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

I am creating a notifications entity and I would like these alerts to disappear after a certain period of time.

Any idea of how to go about setting a TTL on the entry, so that expired entries are deleted automatically.

Thanks,

Anyone have a similar system in place?
I was thinking of creating CRON job that goes over these entities and deletes them after the TTL has expired.

That’s probably a good option

Yeah, if you go with cron through and you do any kind of horizontal scaling I’d look at the redcron strapi plugin
