   Still a bit rough, but working on https://delaykit.dev . The Node.js ecosystem doesn't seem to have a good primitive for app-level, per-event scheduling (things like "expire this abandoned cart in 24h" or "deb

   Seeing the same, thanks. Looks like updown.io is having an issue with TLS. It also lives here if you wanted to take a look: https://updown.io/fj8q

   I understand Posthook may not be the best solution for everyone's scheduled tasks. It seems like for that project you had the expertise, time, and risk tolerance to set up that one DO server to handle all your needs. Other developers m

   Thank you! Pricing is still subject to change as I get more data from the market but the aim was to price it by the value it provides developers over just going off what the servers cost to run.

   Azure Scheduler seems to be aimed towards recurring tasks. So a scheduled request from Posthook is more actionable than a recurring execution from Azure Scheduler for the use cases I'm aiming to help solve with Posthook (think reminder

   Thanks sebringj! I agree and the rise of serverless was definitely one of the motivating factors to me building this service. Security is handled through signing the payload that includes a timestamp with an HMAC to prevent replay attacks a

    Thanks! I do heavily use Google Cloud Pub/Sub but it does not support scheduling items so I only schedule items when they are due for processing.

    If the service outage is on Posthook's side, they would be retried. If the outage is on the customer's side, all hooks that were attempted during the outage would be marked as failed. I plan on adding a feature that will allow the

    It does not support recurring scheduling at the moment. Right now the retry logic is just one retry 5 seconds after the first failure. At which point the hook gets set to a failed status and failure notifications get sent out. Retries are t

    Thank you, good luck to you as well! I've found that with scheduling tasks for the future it's important to do a final check before fulfilling the action, whether it's sending an email, push notification, etc. You don't

    Hello all! I built Posthook as a simple solution for web applications to schedule one-off tasks. It lets you schedule a request back to your application for a certain time, with an optional JSON payload. It can be an alternative to running
