-- Spooled Cloud today announced the official launch of Spooled, an open-source webhook queue and background job infrastructure built for developers and DevOps teams that require reliable, observable, and self-hosted job processing at scale.
Released under the Apache 2.0 open-source license, Spooled is engineered in Rust for performance, memory safety, and reliability, with durable job storage backed by PostgreSQL. The platform is designed to address common production challenges in webhook delivery and background job execution, including silent job drops, retry storms, duplicate processing, and poor operational visibility.
“Spooled was created to solve real production failures we repeatedly encountered when handling webhooks and background jobs,” said Yevhen Salitrynskyi, Founder of Spooled Cloud. “Our goal was to give engineering teams a system they can trust for critical workflows—without vendor lock-in.”
Key Highlights of the Launch
- Spooled is now fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license and available on GitHub
- Built in Rust for performance and safety, with PostgreSQL-backed durability
- Automatic retries with exponential backoff and configurable retry limits
- Dead-letter queues (DLQ) for inspecting, debugging, and replaying failed jobs
- Idempotency keys to prevent duplicate job execution
- Bulk job operations for high-throughput workloads
- Cron scheduling with second-level precision and timezone support
- Workflow dependencies enabling DAG-style job orchestration
- Real-time observability using Server-Sent Events (SSE) and WebSocket streaming
- REST and gRPC APIs with official SDKs for Node.js, Python, Go, and PHP
- Fully self-hosted, supporting Docker, Kubernetes, and bare-metal deployments
Built for Production Reliability
Spooled is designed for SaaS platforms, e-commerce systems, and engineering teams running mission-critical background jobs and webhooks that cannot fail silently. By decoupling job ingestion from execution, Spooled allows applications to respond instantly to providers such as Stripe, GitHub, or Shopify, while safely processing work asynchronously.
To demonstrate Spooled in action, Spooled Cloud has released SpriteForge Demo, a real-time pixel art sprite generator that uses Spooled for real-time job processing and retries.
Developers can explore the full feature set and get started quickly using the official documentation.
