Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Sumit, solo founder of Pingzo. Like a lot of developers, I've had my share of 3 AM pages that turned out to be a temporary network blip, not a real outage. And I've had cron jobs and backup scripts silently fail for days with zero notification. Pingzo exists to fix both of those problems. What makes it different: Fewer false alarms. Failed checks are retried before you ever get paged, so a single network hiccup doesn't wake you up. Alerts where you actually are. WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and email, not just one channel. Heartbeat monitoring for background jobs. A native Node.js SDK (@pingzoapp/sdk) lets you monitor cron jobs, scripts, and backups with a push-based check-in, so silent failures get caught immediately. Public status pages. Share real-time uptime with your own customers under your own domain. I built this solo after getting burned by alert fatigue one too many times in my own infra. Still very early days, and I'll be here all day. Would genuinely love your feedback, feature requests, or just to hear what you use today for uptime monitoring and what's missing from it. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏 Sumit

What do you use for uptime monitoring?

Hey Product Hunt

I'm building Pingzo, launching here on July 16th. It started from a personal frustration: getting paged at 3 AM for what turned out to be a temporary network blip, not a real outage. And separately, having cron jobs and backup scripts fail silently for days because nothing was watching them.

So Pingzo retries failed checks before it ever alerts you, and sends alerts to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord instead of just email.

Before launch, I'd genuinely love to know: what do you currently use for uptime or cron monitoring, and what's the one thing that annoys you most about it? False alarms, missed alerts, clunky setup, pricing, something else?
