Very fun. I don't have a use case atm, but I'll keep this in my back pocket.


I've been using Firebase functions and Firebase function cron jobs for this purpose... but it's definitely a roll-your-own situation.

This project could go so many different ways and solve a bunch of my problems.


Part of the inspiration for this was Firebase functions. We used them extensively on a previous project with their Firestore triggers. There's a lot to like about them but it was a messy development experience, especially the deployment process (although this was a few years ago).
