We have a MEAN stack application. It is deployed on iisnode. We have written a cron job using npm cron module.cron is not running until we hit the URL. We think iisnode become idle. Is there a way to resolve this?

IIS will close the process if the pool becomes idle. You should config it like this answer:

  1. Open IIS(intemgr).
  2. Go to Application Pools.
  3. Right click on the pool which runs your nodeJS app.
  4. Choose Advanced Settings.
  5. Set "Idle Time-Out" under the Process Model section to "0".
