A simple job scheduler backed by Postgres used in production at https://operand.ai. Setup needs two
environment variables, SECRET
and ENDPOINT
. The secret is attached to incoming/outgoing requests
within the Scheduler-Secret
HTTP header, and is used both by the scheduler to verify that incoming
request is legit, as well as the end-application to verify the request is coming from the scheduler.
The endpoint is simply the URL to send HTTP requests to.
Example Usage:
Scheduling a Job
POST https://scheduler.yourcompany.com/insert
Headers: Scheduler-Secret=XXXXXX
{
"timestamp": "2021-04-15T14:17:00-07:00",
"body": {
"foo": "bar"
}
}
Response:
{"id":"cknjdu2k300153zugmucamxxo"}
Cancelling a Scheduled Job (note: if the job doesn't exist, this will fail silently.)
POST https://scheduler.yourcompany.com/delete
Headers: Scheduler-Secret=XXXXXX
{
"id":"cknjdu2k300153zugmucamxxo"
}
Response: None
