How it works
Message broker power, HTTP simplicity.
Queue one-time and recurring tasks with HTTP requests or through the dashboard. Your standard HTTP endpoints receive them as webhooks. Taskhook manages the entire infrastructure, handling scheduling, retries, and monitoring.
Get started
Create your first task in minutes.
Try Taskhook in 5 minutes through the dashboard against our demo API - no code required. Perfect for web frameworks, including Django and Node.js.
Benefits
Build background jobs in minutes, not days.
Traditional background job processors like Celery (Python/Django), BullMQ (Node.js), and Sidekiq (Ruby) are powerful but require Redis, RabbitMQ, or SQS to function, adding operational overhead. Taskhook takes a different approach: Implement processing as HTTP endpoints and queue tasks with HTTP requests. Focus on business logic while we handle the REST.
- HTTP-native architecture.
- Turn any web endpoint on your existing server into a background worker. No special protocols - just standard HTTP requests and webhooks that integrate naturally with your existing stack.
- Zero-ops infrastructure.
- Replace Redis, RabbitMQ, SQS, and cron servers with a single managed service. Zero configuration, zero maintenance, instant scalability for your background jobs.
- Production-ready pipeline.
- Get retries, monitoring, alerts, and dead-letter queues out of the box. Stop writing error-handling boilerplate and start processing jobs reliably from day one.
- Universal compatibility.
- Works with any programming language or framework, such as Django and Node.js. Deploy to containers, VMs, or serverless functions — if it can handle HTTP, it works with Taskhook.
Features
Background jobs, message queues, and cron, delivered via webhooks.
Handle everything from simple scheduled tasks to distributed workflows using standard HTTP endpoints and developer-friendly tooling, APIs and documentation.
- Webhook-based job processing.
- Deploy background jobs by exposing HTTP endpoints. Transform any API endpoint into a reliable async task processor with at-least-once delivery guarantees.
- Scheduling engine.
- Execute one-time background tasks immediately or with a delay, or set up recurring jobs using CRON expressions, through both API and dashboard UI.
- Rate limiting.
- Configure custom rate limiting rules or let Taskhook detect rate limit response headers, ensuring reliable delivery without overwhelming your services or external APIs.
- Resilient error-handling.
- Automatic exponential backoff for transient failures. Replay permanently failed tasks from dead-letter queue after fixes. Set TTL for time-sensitive operations.
- Batch operations and workflows.
- Process related tasks in parallel while maintaining atomic guarantees. Monitor batch progress, react to lifecycle events via webhooks, and build complex workflows.
- Developer tooling.
- Debug tasks using standard HTTP tools like Postman or cURL. Tunnel webhooks to localhost with ngrok. Monitor jobs from the dashboard and configure alerts. Organize tasks with tags.

Use cases
From simple tasks to complex workflows.
Use Taskhook for scheduled tasks, background jobs, and complex multi-service workflows - all without infrastructure complexity. Here are examples of what you can build:
- Archive old database records.
Keep your database performant by automatically moving old records to cold storage every month. Schedule this maintenance task with Taskhook's cron expressions to run during off-peak hours.
- Process file uploads.
Respond to user's request instantly while handling heavy file processing in the background. Save the file to the database, queue a processing task, and handle the time-consuming operations asynchronously.
- Send onboarding emails.
Welcome new users with a series of scheduled emails. Create a batch of delayed tasks when a user signs up, each configured to trigger an email. Cancel tasks if the user unsubscribes.
- Scale API integration tasks.
Keep external API calls within usage limits while processing high-volume bursts. Define a named rate limit for Taskhook's requests. Perfect for third-party integrations or balancing resource usage.
- Process bulk operations.
Handle intensive CSV processing by breaking them into per-row tasks. Create a batch of tasks that process the data with configurable max parallelism. Progress tracking and failure handling built-in.
- Connect microservices reliably.
Replace traditional message broker infrastructure with familiar HTTP requests for service-to-service communication. Taskhook handles pub/sub, delivery guarantees, and dead letter queues.
