Payload Clock
A reliable clock for serverless Payload job queues. In progress.
Payload's job queue runs tasks and workflows, but something has to tell it to run. On a long-lived server that is a cron process; on serverless platforms nothing runs between requests, so scheduled jobs silently wait.
Payload Clock is a small hosted service that calls your Payload deployment's /api/payload-jobs/run endpoint on schedule, with retries, alerts and run history, plus a companion plugin that shows the next runs inside your admin.
Status
In progress. Payload Clock is being built on Payload Stack itself. Watch the roadmap or get in touch if you need it early.
Planned
- Cron and interval schedules per queue, with time zones.
- Signed requests, so only Payload Clock can trigger your queues.
- Run history, failure alerts by email and webhook.
@payload-solutions/plugin-clock: connect a project from the admin and see upcoming and recent runs.
