Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives
In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.
Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

What do you use for external monitoring?
i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy
with Uptime Kuma and healthchecks.io, you can do everything. Uptime Kuma to monitor "services" (web server, database), and healthchecks to monitor punctual jobs (backup jobs, etc)

Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
If you are ok with a Saas and if it's just scheduled jobs that you are monitoring, there are a number of monitoring tools where you tell when job completes (with a http request) and a missing ping (after a grace period) means that it failed.
I think https://deadmanssnitch.com/ may have been the original service for this.
https://healthchecks.io/ has a fairly generous free tier that I use now.
There are others that do the same thing Sentry, Uptime Robot, ...

Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler
A service in a very similar vein is https://healthchecks.io/ - which also provides a nice perspective on how low-effort the setup for a service with a substantial amount of users can be. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31488910
The blog also contains a bunch of useful information and guides around the topic, including various unusual configurations (arduino/esp8266) as well as information on self-hosting.

Detecting and alerting for power failures
i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.
You can use a service like https://healthchecks.io/ for example. There is an article describing the idea here: https://www.signl4.com/blog/monitoring-still-alive-heartbeat-check/.

It's 29 Delphi, I mean
Indeed, webapps are not immune to distribution problems. Wayward and invasive browser extensions are a clear threat, as are 3rd-party dependencies (and their dependencies) loaded at runtime. Which is why companies like https://sentry.io exist. I think the difference is that webapps are "distributable by default" and it takes real work to break this. Versus having local desktop apps which require work to distribute. A potent example of the power of defaults.

The Life and Death of Open Source Companies
> You invent something, and then immediately turn it into a cheap commodity by releasing it for free.
Exactly. A 71-line python script https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/commit/3c2e87573d3bd16f6... was groundbreaking when it came out and the fact that it springboarded into a startup is commendable.

Sentry Relicense Again (FSL)
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/60144 -> https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/d4d89e2fa93ad99f13d...
If they're going to all this trouble for "ambiguity," I don't know why they wouldn't further extend their custom SPDX identifier to include the "2 year" rollover, since that's one of their pearl-clutching reasons for this bullshit: https://github.com/getsentry/loose-confederation/issues/4

Sentry: From the Beginning
It's source available under the BSL: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry. After four years it becomes open source (probably to prevent "AWS Elastic Error Handling service(tm)" from becoming a thing)
You can still run it for your company for free, if you feel like managing all of the infra it requires.

Flash-cards app with OpenAI
Ohh, I forgot to mention that I added Sentry in this project just because it is an easy way to track the errors. But don’t worry, it is free and you can create it here.
