How do you compare/compete against something like Azure Scheduler which gives you 500 jobs with unlimited executions (max 1 per minute) for $14/month.
The Azure service also supports logging (60 days), retry options, and advanced recurrence schedules (every other Tue, etc.)?
- cgenuity 8y agoAzure Scheduler seems to be aimed towards recurring tasks. So a scheduled request from Posthook is more actionable than a recurring execution from Azure Scheduler for the use cases I'm aiming to help solve with Posthook (think reminders). Also I'm hoping Posthook is a simpler offering in terms of pricing and integration.
- dosy 8y agoHey. That's interesting. I'll answer as well since coincidentally at same time as OP I just built a recurring webhook scheduler[1]. That Azure pricing is very competitive / cheap! That's 22 million requests per month for USD 14. 1 timer on my service can do max request 1 per second (2.6 million per month) and that 1 timer would cost $26. On my biggest plan you can get 4000 timers and 100 million requests per month for $495. Still Azure is beating my prices by about 10 times. But they can't do second resolution (yet?), so they're still only a "distributed cron".
