I'd make a bet that the resiliency of your average crontab is greater than most SaaS companies.


We have certain cron jobs that if they failed we could be losing thousands of dollars an hour.

Of course they're tested, and you're right they've worked fine for a looooong time.

But I don't care if they "normally work fine", I need to know immediately if it didn't run for any reason. We self hosted a cron monitor, it was free and only took less then a day to add and have fully integrated, including text message and MS teams notifications.
