Zeplo is a modern infinitely scaleable managed message queue (queue as a service), which requires no setup. Ralley works like any other queue, but instead of pushing jobs, you push requests.

I like it. But how do you prevent abuse? You're charging $10 per 1 million additional requests of 15MB each on the pro plan - that's 15 terabytes for $10 (~0.067 cents per GB?) from your servers targeted at any domain/web-address for DoS attacks! Maybe charge for bandwidth?

@amitkumar You're right - we probably need to add a bandwidth charge or fair usage policy - maybe I can offer 100GB for free (which is more than most people will need for normal use cases, but should prevent abuse)? We could also uncap organizations that we trust - if they have a use case that requires it.

@amitkumar I also agree about abuse prevention. This could really be a great proxy for bad actors. Then ralley will end up getting blacklisted. Something to think about as usage picks up.

Super excited (and as always, nervous 😅) to be launching Ralley today - a simple, robust queue as service - that requires absolutely no setup as it works over HTTPS! Simply prefix ANY http request with ralley.to/ and we’ll queue, and then forward the request with the exact same method/body/headers/parameters. Simple. You can use Ralley to: ✅ RETRY - requests that error automatically or manually (e.g. ensure that accounts are in sync) ✅ SCHEDULE- requests at regular interval (e.g. reset a customers usage every month) ✅ DELAY - requests for a given time (e.g. send an email 30 mins after a user signs up) I created Ralley because every app I’ve ever built has at some point needed a queue, whether it be for billing, sending e-mails or sync multiple databases or APIs. And every time it’s been an absolute pain and a source of hard to diagnose bugs. I’ve tried traditional queues, but they’re a pain to setup and often provide little visibility into what went wrong and the status of a given job. Ralley is a match made in heaven for anyone using serverless - because we ping your endpoint, there is no need to keep the server running while you’re waiting for jobs. I've been using Ralley for my other products for over 2 months, so its been battle tested in production. If you'd like to see how I built Ralley checkout https://1productaweek.com/ralley Would love to get any feedback and answer any questions!

Nice idea! I’ve always found with queues you end up writing a bunch of services around them to help facilitate messages. Sounds like this could help reduce some of that bloat.

I like it! Queues are one of those things that I always spend too much time thinking about. This is so simple to understand and works in any language. Seems like a good new default for me.

Interesting idea. I always run into these types of issues and usually use a mix of cronjobs and storing stuff in databases and Redis. But as you said I never know what's going on and if it actually worked.

@volkandkaya Exactly! I really wanted something where I can investigate whats going on - and re-process something before a customer even notices!

Fantastic. Simple, do-one-thing-well, Unix type service. Read through the docs and glad to see you’ve thought about a lot of edge cases and customization.
