Exactly! My NodeRED besides doing some home automation actually does a lot more "ops" work for me:

1. Complex healthchecks for my side project webhookrelay.com (tests backend functionality every 30 seconds) 2. Normal HTTP healthchecks for all my websites - webhookrelay.com, keel.sh and few other backing services such as drone itself. 3. Updates homebrew formula hash when a new release is out (there's a super easy to use github integration that allows you to modify files) 4. Receives and processes emails from Mailgun about delivery failures.

So yeah, probably the best self-hosted IFTTT/Zapier out there :)
