The silent killer

Your cron jobs are failing.
You just don't know it yet.

Background jobs fail silently by design. No exception surfaces. No alert fires. The first sign something is wrong is a user complaint — hours after the damage is done.

  1. 🔇

    Job fails silently

    Your backup job throws an error at 2am. No noise.

  2. Hours pass

    Users start seeing stale data. You have no idea.

  3. 😠

    A user complains

    That's how you find out. Three hours later.

  4. 🔍

    30-minute postmortem

    Digging through logs to find something obvious.

The fix

# Add this at the end of any cron job
curl -s https://crondash.dev/ping/YOUR_KEY > /dev/null

If the ping stops arriving on time, you get a Slack or email alert in under 60 seconds. Not when a user complains. Right when it happens.
