Know the moment something breaks.
Beacon checks your sites, APIs, and background jobs every 30 seconds from six regions, and tells your team the second something looks wrong — before your customers do.
No credit card · first check live in under two minutes
What Beacon watches
Point it at anything that can go down. Beacon adapts the check to what you're running, not the other way around.
Sites & APIs
Check status codes, response bodies, redirects, and TLS certificate expiry on any schedule down to 30 seconds.
Servers & ports
Raw TCP and ICMP checks for databases, mail servers, and anything else that doesn't speak HTTP.
Background jobs
Heartbeat pings for cron jobs and queues — get paged when a job goes quiet instead of when it fails loudly.
How it works
Three steps, no agent to install, no infrastructure to manage.
Add a check
Paste a URL, host, or heartbeat token. Choose how often Beacon should look and from which regions.
We watch it
Beacon polls on schedule and keeps a rolling history of latency, status, and incidents — automatically.
You hear first
Email, SMS, or webhook the moment a check fails twice in a row, with the context to act immediately.
See it live
A sample status board, exactly as your team would see it.
