Dispatched

About Dispatched

Dispatched is a background job queue for serverless applications, aimed squarely at the gap every Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare deployment eventually hits: browsers time out after about thirty seconds, which is far too short for file processing, bulk email, PDF generation or a video convert, and the usual answer is standing up workers, a broker and monitoring for a workload that runs a few hundred times a day. Here the entire integration is HTTP. You POST to queue a job and receive a webhook callback when it runs, so there is no SDK to learn and no language binding to wait for — anything that can make an HTTP request can use it, in any framework. Retries are configurable at the project level and overridable per job, since some work deserves five attempts and some deserves one. Scheduling covers both immediate execution and delays of up to a year, which makes it a reasonable home for reminder emails, periodic cleanups and anything else that would otherwise need a cron host. Monitoring and log retention come built in rather than as a separate observability bill. Setup is an API key and a webhook URL. The pricing ladder is unusually honest about who it is for — the middle tier is named Indie Hackers and priced accordingly.
