What Drumbeats does

Know and fix when your services go down before users see it!

I built Drumbeats because I was paying one vendor for cron monitoring and another for uptime. Drumbeats does both under one usage metric: beats. A daily cron runs you 1-2 beats a day. If the job stops running, the alert goes out and you stop paying for it.

  • Beats billing, not per-check pricing — One usage metric across cron, heartbeats, and uptime. A daily cron is 1-2 beats a day. If it stops running, you stop paying for it.

  • AI-native design — Drumbeats has open-source MCP. You can both vibe code and add your monitors to when it is broken.

  • One-click status pages on every plan — Generate a public status page in one click, point a custom domain at it. Not a separate product with a separate bill.

  • Branded custom status pages — Create your own branded status page and serve from your public domain, any paid plan includes branded status pages with synthetic monitors.

  • Event driven job monitoring — Most of job monitoring tools even do not cover simplest and most common job type: event driven. Operational emails or payment invoices monitored too.

  • Unlimited team seats, including Free — Invite your whole team on the Free plan. No per-seat tax on anything, ever.

  • Cron, heartbeat, uptime, queue, background job — same dashboard — Missed-run detection for scheduled work, HTTP checks for endpoints, heartbeats for anything in between. One tool, one bill.

  • HTTP-first, no SDK required — A single curl at the end of your job is enough. Nothing to install, nothing to pin, nothing to break on your next deploy.

  • Alerts where you already are — Slack, Discord, Telegram, Webhooks, Email, PagerDuty... Route different monitors to different channels.

Drumbeats offers a tiered pricing structure, including a Free plan perfect for personal projects, a Pro plan for teams, and an Enterprise-grade Business plan. All plans include unlimited team seats and instant alerts via multiple channels.

Since Drumbeats uses one system for cron jobs, uptime checks, heartbeats and background jobs, what was the hardest part of bringing all these different types of monitoring into one simple workflow?

Samed Kahyaoglu's avatar

Hi Anders,

The hard part wasn't the checks themselves, it was that these are two opposite directions of signal. With cron jobs, heartbeats, and background jobs, your system talks to us. With uptime checks, we go out and talk to your system. And event-driven jobs have no schedule at all, so there's nothing to be late against.

What made it click was deciding that everything becomes a ping. An uptime check that fails writes a ping. A background job that hangs past its max duration writes a ping. From there, one pipeline handles all four types: same incident logic, same tolerance settings, same alert routing, same status pages.

Event-driven jobs don’t always have a fixed schedule, so missed activity can be hard to spot. What does Drumbeats use to know when something like a payment invoice or operational email has stopped happening?

Samed Kahyaoglu's avatar

Hi Johan,

Great question. Spotting missing activity in an event-driven job is genuinely tricky.

Our event-driven monitors natively detect failures, job duration, and success rates. For missing executions, you have two options depending on your setup:

If you can instrument the enqueue step: send a start ping with a run ID at the moment you enqueue the job, then a success or fail ping when it finishes. Set a max duration on the monitor, and if the run never completes within that window, we flag it. This catches jobs that get queued but never actually execute.

If you can't send a start ping: put a heartbeat monitor on top of your event-driven job and set its interval to the longest stretch of silence you'd consider normal. It's a workaround, but it works well as long as you don't need the volume factor.

For the volume side, our roadmap includes a setting along the lines of "this job should run at least X times in Y period," which will cover the cases neither approach above handles.

Happy to help you set this up if you need.
