Drumbeats is a monitoring platform designed for modern teams to keep websites, APIs, cron jobs, and background tasks healthy and observable. It helps you detect failures quickly and prevent downtime with automated checks, missed-run detection, and AI-assisted setup, all accessible through simple dashboards and clear alerts.
I built Drumbeats because I was tired of cron monitoring tools that either cost too much per check or didn't do uptime, so I'd end up paying two vendors. Drumbeats does both under the same usage metric: beats. So if your job stops running, you get your alert and stop paying for it. A daily job will cost you nothing because it operates with 1-2 beats/day.
Key features include:
Real-time monitoring across websites, APIs, cron jobs, and background tasks: Keeps you informed about health and performance in near real-time across critical components.
Missed-run detection and alerting: Proactively notifies when runs are missed or delayed, reducing downtime. Know what is down before customers.
AI-assisted setup: Accelerates configuration and onboarding with intelligent recommendations. Your agent sets up job monitoring while you create your uptime monitors by pasting urls.
Usage-based pricing with a rich free tier: Free plan is 50 monitors, unlimited teammates, no credit card. Drumbeats monitors itself.
Instant status pages: Any cron job or uptime monitor may serve a status page with just one click and no extra cost. Team acknowledges incidents, inform audience with notes shown in status page and resolve the issue.
Clear dashboards and reports: Centralized view of uptime, trends, and incidents. 2026 level responsive design. Everything is downloadable in CSV format.
Drumbeats focuses on practical reliability and scalable monitoring for teams that depend on uptime and performance. By combining automated checks with intelligent setup and usage-based pricing, it helps you move from reaction to proactive stability. This combination helps teams observe trends, correlate incidents, and scale monitoring as their product grows, without bloating the cost.
