SilentFail – Background job monitoring with instant failure alerts

Summary: SilentFail monitors cron jobs, queues, and serverless workers using HTTP pings to verify if tasks actually run and complete. It sends instant alerts when jobs fail or stop running, addressing silent failures that traditional monitoring misses.

What it does

SilentFail tracks background jobs by verifying their expected behavior rather than just detecting errors, using simple HTTP pings to confirm execution and completion.

Who it's for

It is designed for engineers managing background jobs, cron tasks, queues, or asynchronous pipelines prone to silent failures.

Why it matters

SilentFail solves the problem of undetected job failures that appear healthy but do not perform their intended work, preventing unnoticed data loss or operational issues.
