Gonewatch

The product is a heartbeat monitoring service that tracks expected recurring events such as cron jobs, backups, and pipelines and alerts when a heartbeat is not received within a configured window. It solves the problem of silent failures where scheduled jobs stop running without notification. It sells to developers, DevOps/SRE, and IT teams in businesses that operate recurring automated jobs. It is delivered as SaaS via a heartbeat API with one URL per monitor and no agent or SDK, where users POST on success and set fixed-time or rolling intervals with grace windows.
