    Iโ€™ll suggest an alternative below, but before, I want to say, even though there are richer and more powerful services, I prefer to keep my monitoring separated and have more control on them. Example: I do have an end-to-end script that browses a few pages and checks stuff using playwright, and I try to keep it experiment plain/simple on purpose. And simply have a bash script that runs the playwright test and pings a check in healthchecks.io when it passes. That monitor is simple enough that I can move to any other service, or move the test from where it runs to another place without worrying any vendor lock. Instead, I would have used a service like checkly but it would lock me in right away. In short, I like how healthchecks.io contributes this decoupled model and plays a central reporting engine for my monitors.

    I have a soft spot for cron jobs. But if you use them, I highly recommend you also use the open source runitor tool:

    https://github.com/bdd/runitor

    ... which lets you quickly integrate any cron job with the https://healthchecks.io service. So darn handy. And you're supporting an indie startup whose founder regularly posts on HN.

    I use https://healthchecks.io [1] to track backup tasks and alert if they haven't run in X days. With one cURL command at the start and one at the end, I also get alerts immediately if it fails, and can track duration.

    Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.
  • 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.

    Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?
