we use updown.io for this and are happy with it.

there's probably functionality built in to your other monitoring tools, or you could write a little serverless function to to it, but for me i really like to have it isolated. i wanted a tool that's not part of the rest of our monitoring stack, not part of our own codebase, and not something we manage.

Seconding Updown. Easy setup, pay-as-you-go, no nonsense.

I wish they had a better way to hit your phone. Currently it supports Slack and SMS but I need a way to make my phone go crazy when things go wrong (you can set Updown as an emergency contact but this has many downsides as well).
