I just need a little advice on how I should approach this.
Basically, the application consists of a bidding platform, where users can bid on an item until the post is 12 hours old. Then the status of the "post" is set to closed and bidding is no longer allowed. So, my question is:
What is the best way to be constantly looking for posts that are 12 hours old (needs to close at the exact second) and update the database? Is it ideal to just update the post once a user attempts to load it and perform the check then?
