This is a good niche with the rise of serverless as there isn't a super simple way to do this if you want to hit some job every so often. You could set a header key that all requests require and bam, you got security for an ongoing task. I use kue.js myself with jobs for node and glue stuff together with redis across servers but serverless seems like it could work for a lot of use cases coupled with this idea with less code overall.

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 as well.
i wonder how you ensure its 24-7 reliable? i am definitely interested in using it
ah ok -> https://aws.amazon.com/batch/ that's probably how
