Introduction

Cronitor provides status, uptime and performance monitoring for agents, cron jobs, websites, APIs and everything in between. Its dashboard tracks jobs like nightly database backups, ETL tasks and queue drains alongside HTTP checks and heartbeats from device fleets.

Products include jobs, checks, heartbeats, status pages, web analytics and errors, and synthetic browser checks. The Business plan starts with a 14-day free trial and bills monthly for actual usage.

Monitoring is the last line of a testing strategy: it catches what tests, reviews and staging missed. Wire its alerts into the same place your CI failures go, and when an incident reveals a gap, add a test or a synthetic check so the same failure is caught before release next time.
