Popular solutions include Dead Man's Snitch , Cronitor and Healthchecks.io with the last one being available as open-source in addition to their managed offering. But in reality, you could very well hack something together yourself that would do the job just fine. The important part here is that it needs to serve as a dead man's switch, immediately firing and alerting if your alerting tool fails to check in.

  2. Your observability stack, managed by us completely for free
    In the managed open-source space, the most successful one so far probably is Grafana Cloud, but there definitely is no shortage of closed-source vendors providing APM solutions where everything you need to get started is to drop either a single or multiple agents into your cluster or your machine. Even in the case of self-hosted open-source, there are quite a few options available. Observatorium, OpsTrace and COS all provide different degrees of out-of-the-box turn-key experiences, even if the most popular option here remains to roll it yourself, picking the tools you think are the best for the job.
