About CronRadar
Built by developers who were tired of discovering cron job failures days too late.
Our Mission
CronRadar exists to solve one specific problem: cron jobs fail silently, and by the time you discover the failure, the damage is done.
We believe monitoring should be automatic, invisible, and require zero maintenance. Add one line of code and never think about it again—until something breaks, when we'll alert you instantly.
Why We Built CronRadar
The story is familiar to every developer: You write a backup script. It works perfectly in testing. You add it to cron. Three months later, you discover it's been failing silently for weeks—the disk filled up, credentials expired, or the network changed—and no one knew.
Existing monitoring solutions were either:
- Too complex: Required agents, configuration files, complex setup
- Too rigid: Forced you into their way of doing things
- Too expensive: Per-seat pricing, feature gates, annual contracts
- Too manual: Every monitor required manual registration and maintenance
We wanted monitoring that just works: send a ping from your job, and if it stops pinging on schedule, get alerted. No setup. No configuration. No maintenance.
Product Philosophy
MonitorAll by Default
Other tools make you manually register each job. CronRadar automatically creates monitors on first ping. Send your schedule with the ping—if the monitor doesn't exist, we create it. Your jobs just work.
Zero Configuration
One line of code. No YAML files. No configuration dashboards. No manual setup. If your job runs, we monitor it. If it stops, we alert you. That's it.
Framework-Native Integrations
For Hangfire, Laravel, Celery, and Quartz.NET, we provide native integrations that auto-discover all your scheduled jobs. Add one line to your startup code, and every job is automatically monitored. No manual registration. No maintenance.
Self-Healing Monitors
Jobs get renamed, schedules change, environments evolve. CronRadar automatically updates monitor configuration on every ping. Your monitoring stays in sync with your code—automatically.
Transparent Pricing
$1 per monitor per month. No tiers. No feature gates. No per-seat pricing. No "contact us" enterprise plans. Same price and same features for everyone—whether you're monitoring 1 job or 1,000.
Technology
CronRadar is built with production-grade enterprise technology:
- .NET 9: High-performance backend API built on ASP.NET Core with minimal latency and maximum reliability
- React 19 & Next.js 15: Modern, fast frontend with server-side rendering for optimal SEO and performance
- PostgreSQL: Battle-tested database with ACID guarantees for reliable data storage
- SHA256 Encryption: All API keys are encrypted at rest using industry-standard hashing
- HTTPS Only: All API communication is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3
All of our SDKs are open source and available on GitHub. We believe in transparency and welcome contributions from the community.
Open Source & Community
We're building CronRadar in public. All of our SDKs and client libraries are open source:
- CronRadar.NET (NuGet)
- CronRadar.Hangfire (NuGet)
