Watchdog Heartbeatv1.0.0

A B2B SaaS team runs a fleet of microservices and background workers. Watchdog Heartbeat runs on a cron every minute to check health endpoints, heartbeat timestamps, and stuck job queues. When a service goes down it recommends restart; when heartbeats go stale it escalates to on-call.

An organization deploys dozens of autonomous AI agents that execute long-running workflows. Watchdog Heartbeat detects agents that stop emitting heartbeats or workflows stuck past the 30-minute threshold. It triggers degraded mode for non-critical agents and notifies operators for critical ones.

A high-traffic e-commerce platform relies on payment, inventory, and fulfillment workflows. Watchdog Heartbeat monitors each step and flags stuck orders or payment services that are down. Recovery recommendations route to restart services or escalate to human operators during flash sales.

Industrial IoT deployments use edge gateways that send periodic heartbeats. Watchdog Heartbeat verifies freshness and detects offline gateways, recommending degraded mode for non-critical sensors and escalation for safety-critical ones. It logs observability gaps when telemetry is missing.

A hospital's patient-facing scheduling and records systems must remain available. Watchdog Heartbeat continuously checks service health and workflow integrity, triggering alerts when critical services degrade. It ensures silent failures never go unnoticed in a regulated environment.

Charge customers based on the number of monitored services, heartbeats, or workflow checks per month. This aligns cost with value and scales naturally as infrastructure grows.

Offer basic health monitoring for free, but charge for advanced features like automatic restarts, degraded mode orchestration, and escalation integrations with PagerDuty/Slack.

Sell an on-premise or private-cloud license to enterprises that need full control over monitoring data and recovery actions. Includes support, updates, and custom threshold tuning.
