   Dead man's switch without reliance on your infra▲139

   I wrote this Go project to implement a dead man’s switch that didn’t rely on cron jobs, timers, databases, etc on the infra it runs on. Deadcheck integrates to PagerDuty and keeps a long running incident snoozed until expected check-in times where it’ll alert unless a check-in occurs.
