  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Healthchecks

    Open-source cron job and background task monitoring service, written in Python & Django

  • Personally I don't like AWS, too confusing cost calculation. See my other comment, I ended up using a cron job running mysqldump, upload to Backblaze B2 for backups (10GB free), healthchecks.io for monitoring the cron job (free) and notifications.

  • AutoMySQLBackup

    A fork and further development of AutoMySQLBackup from sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/

  • For the first part have a look at automysqlbackup (it's packaged for Debian) . It also can notify on errors. Quick search gave me this fork: https://github.com/sixhop/AutoMySQLBackup Uploading to remote storage can be accomplished with restic (restic.net)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • autorestic

    Config driven, easy backup cli for restic.

  • Maybe autorestic or rclone.
