Any suggestions on cron job/other schedulded execution service? I need to periodically (about once a day) perform a simple http call and update a supabase table with the info. I know you can use postgresql for it via an extension but seems a bit shacky.

It's not hacky to use it via the DB, it's a different way of achieving the same thing as cron on a server. If you'd still rather have it outside the DB though, a docker container on a VPS and using crontab to run the container at a specific time is an option that works pretty well. Keep in mind that if you're intending to update the DB with some data (e.g. CSV) and you intend to use a third party service, you're gonna have to provide your DB credentials to the third party. Maybe it's just me, but I'd be really uncomfortable with that.
