Profile

Hey everyone!I'm excited to show off ExecAPI, a zero-infrastructure background job runner as a service. It's a bit like a hosted Sidekiq (if you're from the Ruby world), except that you can write your job workers in any language that has a Docker image available.Background jobs (aka workflows) are triggered by either a Cron schedule or an on-demand HTTP request, which then executes one or more actions. Each action is user-submitted code that runs a Docker image of your choosing, and is run in a secure sandbox (currently gVisor, perhaps Firecracker VM in the future).It's a bit rough around the edges right now, but I'd love to get some feedback on the direction I'm going with this. The plan is

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
