Capto

The product is a dead-man's switch monitor for cron jobs, background workers, containers and HTTP endpoints that detects when expected pings or scheduled runs stop and attaches recent breadcrumbs to the alert. It is for developers and operations teams in business environments who run scheduled or long-running jobs. It is positioned as a narrow alternative to log platforms, APM and on-call suites, providing only the alert with last context, with no agent to install and evaluation every 30 seconds on all plans.
