Cron Job Monitor
A dead-man's-switch monitor for scheduled jobs: your cron, backup, or queue worker pings a URL when it runs, and if a ping fails to arrive on schedule you get alerted.
- Target market
- Solo devs and small teams running cron jobs, backups, queue workers, and scheduled scripts who want monitoring without an enterprise price tag.
Problem snapshot
What this solves
Indies run critical scheduled jobs (nightly DB backups, billing reconciliation, digest emails) with no idea when they silently stop. The classic disaster: the backup cron died three weeks ago, nobody noticed, and the day you need the backup is the day you discover it is empty. Monitors exist, but the popular ones are priced and featured for teams.
