Background Job Monitoring Without an Agent

Workers, queues, and nightly batches all share one question: did the work finish on time? CronCraft answers it with an HTTP ping from your code when the unit of work succeeds.

Same mechanism as cron monitoring — you are not limited to crontab. Anything that can call HTTPS can report.

Language-agnostic

Use curl, requests, fetch, or your HTTP client of choice. Example for Python: monitor Python scheduled tasks.

Explicit failure

When your worker catches an exception, hit /ping/TOKEN/fail so CronCraft records a failed run instead of waiting for a timeout — documented in the GitHub README.
