Data Maintenance:

CRON job: checking life of bin
Schedule: 9:00 AM UTC
Calculate date/timestamp for 48 hours prior
Query Postgres Bins table for bin_ids > 48 hours and store in array
if array length > 0, run mongoose command to delete all bins
consider different methods of having the job check for and delete expired bins to account for scale (db is on hold while cron job is sweeping)

Data structures:

Bin is an object
- holds array of requests
