Heartbeat Monitoring Service
TL;DR
Traditional uptime monitoring only tests your external website layout, leaving behind-the-scenes processes like cron jobs, backups, and data syncs completely unmonitored. A heartbeat monitoring service flips this approach: your internal background scripts send a quick ping to a unique monitoring URL at scheduled intervals. If a script fails or crashes mid-run, the monitoring service misses its "heartbeat" and instantly logs an alert for your team.
