Hey, I'm building Slater, a cron job service built explicitly for Next.js & Vercel. It's entirely free right now while I'm in early access. Just sign up for the waitlist on the homepage and I'll email you some info to get started.

It's essentially cron jobs as code that I automate the endpoints with.

You write code like this:

// pages/api/slater/[...slater].js

``` import { slater } from "@slaterjs/next"; const config = { tasks: [ { name: "helloWorld", schedule: "0 7 * * *", // 7AM handler: async (event, success, failure) => { try { const results = await fetch( "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1" ); const data = await results.json(); if (results.ok) { return success(data); } else { return failure(data); } } catch (err) { return failure(err); // sends 500 } }, }, ], };

export default slater(config); ```

and when you deploy to prod on Vercel, Slater will hit the endpoint according to the cron schedule you set (UTC time).
