Overview
What SteadyCron is — a single place to schedule, run, and monitor cron jobs as code, EU-hosted. Manage via YAML manifest, Terraform provider, or REST API.
SteadyCron is a reliable, EU-hosted platform to schedule, run, and monitor cron jobs in one place. Most teams cobble cron together from Linux crontabs, ad-hoc cloud schedulers, and a separate heartbeat-monitoring tool. Jobs fail silently, nobody notices, and weeks later a critical process is broken. SteadyCron replaces that patchwork.
Two halves, one product
SteadyCron has two sides that share the same dashboard, alerting, and primitives. Most users start with one and grow into the other.
Execution — we run your jobs
For scheduled HTTP work, SteadyCron calls your endpoint on schedule with configurable retries, timeouts, and a full audit trail. It replaces tools like AWS EventBridge, Cloudflare Cron Triggers, or EasyCron — without locking you into one cloud.
See HTTP jobs to get started.
Monitoring — we watch your jobs
For cron already running on your own servers, VMs, or containers, SteadyCron watches via heartbeat pings and alerts on missed or failed runs. It’s an alternative to a dedicated monitoring tool, and it lives alongside your executed jobs.
See Heartbeat monitoring to get started.
Why SteadyCron
- Both sides in one product — execution and monitoring belong together.
- EU-hosted, GDPR-native — runs on Hetzner in Germany, governed by German law.
- Infra-as-code first — define cron jobs and heartbeat monitors in YAML and reconcile with the CLI, or manage them as Terraform resources alongside the rest of your infrastructure.
- Alerting that works — email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, and webhooks with quiet hours and escalation.
- Fair, linear pricing — no per-execution fees that balloon with scale.
Next steps
- Getting started — create your first job in minutes.
- YAML & CLI — manage jobs as code with a YAML manifest.
- Terraform provider — manage cron jobs and monitors as Terraform resources.
- Scheduling & cron syntax — schedules, timezones, and DST.
- Alerting — get notified when something breaks.
