Q3 2023 update - Notifications

• secutils

  Secutils.dev is an open-source, versatile, yet simple security toolbox for engineers and researchers (by secutils-dev)

  

Notifications, in general, and email notifications, specifically, are integral to any product that involves any monitoring or tracking activities. Secutils.dev already includes, and will continue to expand, features that require the ability to send notifications. Two notable examples include sending notifications for changes detected by the web page resources trackers and changes detected in the tracked content security policies (CSP).

  Schedule tasks on Tokio using cron-like annotation

As I previously covered in my “Building a scheduler for a Rust application” post, I rely on Tokio Cron Scheduler for various routine background tasks, and one such task runs every 30 seconds (although the default value, it's configurable). This task checks if there are any pending notifications ready for dispatch. Fortunately, the extra 30-second delay doesn't significantly impact my use cases, but it allows me to manage the load more effectively. This approach works equally well for both near-real-time notifications and those scheduled for future delivery.
