Suggest me a service to send periodic HTTP requests

Hello there,

I want to have a way to periodically send requests to trigger a Firebase lambda.

Does anyone know of a good service to do this? Hopefully with a free tier.

I could do it as a cron job on my local machine but I'd rather just have a service take care of that to me.

    Every cloud platform already has a way to do this, your best bet is to use the GCP scheduled functions Since it seems you are using GCP.

    If you want something outside of GCP, you could use GitHub Actions. If you keep the repo public, Actions are free. And you can schedule them just like cron.

    Try this: http://uptime.onl/
    It makes a request every 5 minutes

      Thank you for mentioning us 🙏
