Drumbeats
Operational monitoring for modern applications·drumbeats.io
Drumbeats is an operational monitoring service for cron jobs, background tasks, queues, and website/API uptime. It uses heartbeat-based detection: a job sends an HTTP ping when it starts, succeeds, or fails, and Drumbeats alerts the team when a run is missed, fails, or hangs. No SDK or agent is required — any environment able to make an outbound HTTPS call can be monitored, including jobs behind firewalls or in private VPCs. The product also provides public status pages, incident tracking, a REST/Ping API, and an MCP server for AI-assisted setup.
