In plain words

Cronitor is a monitoring platform designed for developers to track cron jobs, microservices, websites, APIs, and AI agents. It alerts users when scheduled tasks fail, run late, or don't start, and stores status, metrics, and output from each run for troubleshooting. The service includes uptime checks from 12+ global locations with content and performance assertions, heartbeat monitoring for systems without endpoints, and provides customers with a centralized status page to view system health.

From the sources

Monitoring made for developers. Monitor AI agents, cron jobs, websites, APIs, and everything in between — with instant alerts when something breaks.

Status, uptime and performance monitoring for agents, cron jobs, websites, APIs, and everything in between. Know when a scheduled job fails, runs late, or never starts. Keep the status, metrics, and output from every run so you can see what happened and fix it. Check websites and APIs from 12+ locations worldwide. Test basic availability, or add assertions for content, performance, and certificates. Send heartbeats from agents, queues, devices, and other systems that may not have an endpoint to check. Cronitor alerts you when expected activity stops. Give customers one place to check uptime and follow incidents, while keeping routine status questions out of your support queue.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
