A service in a very similar vein is https://healthchecks.io/ - which also provides a nice perspective on how low-effort the setup for a service with a substantial amount of users can be. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31488910

The blog also contains a bunch of useful information and guides around the topic, including various unusual configurations (arduino/esp8266) as well as information on self-hosting.

I've used healthchecks.io for years (and Laravel eco system has some heartbeat checks built into their system), I'm curious how Peeng differs?

Peeng (which is now gnip.io, ping in reverse) is now only for cron/onprem monitoring but eventually we want to add it a lot of other features (nested subdomains, dynamic status pages, pings (not reverse)).

If you have any idea what would be make Peeng even more great it'll be cool to hear!
