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 tricky because depending on how the job is implemented they can cause more harm than good. So I plan to refine that more based on customer feedback.
[3] https://aws.amazon.com/message/5467D2/ ... basically DynamoDB is a fundamental service for AWS and had implemented some new streams features. This all appeared to be working, but they were running closer to capacity than intended, and when a cluster went out this caused a cascading failure.
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 developer to fire off again all failed hooks in a given time period.
I just posted a scalable service that does support recurring scheduling ( every 15 minutes, as fast as every second, or long as every n months ). Show HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17353486
