The painful reality
- Jobs fail silently when a server restarts or an environment variable rotates.
- You find out hours later, after backups, emails, or billing syncs already missed.
- Debugging is guesswork without execution history or failure payloads.

Frequently asked questions
How is this better than running cron on my VPS?
Cronjob separates scheduling from execution and keeps a full audit trail for every run. If a server restarts, your schedule and logs stay intact in PostgreSQL and your jobs are retried by workers.
Can I trigger jobs from my own app?
Yes. Every job has a webhook token and endpoint so your app can trigger runs on demand in addition to the recurring schedule.
What happens when a task fails?
Cronjob records the full error, response payload, duration, and attempt history. You can send failure alerts by email and webhook so your team is informed immediately.
Who is this built for?
Solo founders and lean product teams that need reliable recurring jobs for backups, billing syncs, report generation, and lifecycle automations without hiring DevOps.
