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 your own systems like Sidekiq, Celery, or Quartz and the operational overhead that comes along with them. Cron jobs and cloud provider tools like CloudWatch Events are also used for job scheduling but lack observability and may force you to frequently make expensive queries to your data store just to see if there is any work to do.

Questions and feedback are greatly appreciated :)
