1. A user sends their info like name, email, links through JSON.
2. Then the server stores that JSON on the ram.
3. There's a template in form of handlebars, that hbs will convert into HTML having all the information extracted from the JSON to create the PDF.
4. I've created a DB using sqlite which will contain the all the info of the user and the time of request came.
5. I've used html-to-pdf module to convert the HTML to PDF.
6. Then the server store that PDF on the RAM.
7. After this, i've used node-cron to schedule a task which is to query on the User table where it will give all the user requests that are not processed in the last 5 minutes and send the PDF through mail.
