CloudRay Use Case

Event-Driven Automation
for Servers and Infrastructure

Use CloudRay to run remote scripts automatically in response to events — deployments, alerts, Git pushes, health checks, or any webhook-capable system.

No cron jobs No SSH loops No manual intervention

Why Event-Driven Automation Matters

Modern infrastructure moves fast. Static schedules aren’t enough. Teams increasingly need automation that runs exactly when something happens.

Deployments

Trigger clean-up scripts or cache clears immediately after a new version is deployed.

Health Checks

Restart services or dump logs automatically when a service becomes unhealthy.

CI Pipelines

Run post-build tasks on staging infrastructure as soon as a CI pipeline finishes.

Incidents

Trigger remediation scripts instantly when a monitoring alert fires or a container crashes.

Git Events

Deploy code or update configuration when a specific Git tag is pushed.

Any Webhook

Adapt to any signal. If it can send a webhook, it can trigger CloudRay automation.

Predictable, Observable Automation

Triggered by the tools you already use.

Incoming Webhooks

CloudRay gives you a unique, secure URL for your automation. Point your monitoring tools, CI/CD, or custom apps to this URL to trigger scripts instantly with payload data passed as variables.

  • Secure, unique trigger URLs
  • Pass JSON payload as script variables
  • Filter triggers by payload conditions
  • Rate limiting and authentication

Action-Oriented Response

Don't just log the event—act on it. CloudRay runs your Bash scripts on one node or your entire fleet the moment the event occurs.

  • Target specific server groups (tags)
  • Run sequentially or in parallel
  • Stop on failure safety mechanisms
  • Conditional execution logic

Why CloudRay Works Better

Move away from brittle, homegrown event handling to a robust platform.

The Old Way

  • • Powered by homegrown scripts
  • • "Cron hacks" (running every minute to check state)
  • • Brittle webhook handlers running on random servers
  • • No logs if the trigger fails or scripts crash

The CloudRay Way

  • • Centralised webhook management
  • • Full audit trail of every trigger and execution
  • • Secure payload handling
  • • Reliable execution engine, not "fire and forget"

Trigger & Forget? No.

Trigger & Observe. CloudRay ensures you know exactly happened after the event fired.
