Stop silent failures early

Catch silent background job failures before they cost you

Monitor cron jobs, queues, and serverless workers with simple HTTP pings. Get alerts in minutes when runs fail, stall, or disappear—fix issues before revenue or data takes a hit.

SilentFail on Product Hunt

Silent failures create invisible outages

Background jobs stop quietly—billing, emails, and data pipelines drift until customers notice.

Invisible until users complain

Cron or queue jobs stop; you only find out from missing invoices or angry tickets.

Data and revenue drift

Stalled billing or ETL silently skews metrics, payouts, and reconciliations.

Alert fatigue or no alert

Without good signals you either get spammy false positives or miss the real incidents.

Built for teams with background work

Works with cron, queues, serverless jobs, and schedulers.

Cron & schedulers

Nightly billing, email digests, cleanups, syncs.

Queues & workers

Sidekiq, Celery, BullMQ, SQS, Resque, and more.

Serverless jobs

CloudWatch, EventBridge, Cloud Scheduler, Workflows.

Data pipelines

ETL/ELT, database backups, ingestion and enrichment jobs.
