Trusted by teams running critical automation

Amybot
Our nightly data sync is critical—if it fails, the whole team is blocked in the morning. Bubobot's heartbeat monitoring catches failures at 2 AM so we can fix them before anyone notices. It's saved us countless fire drills.

Amybot Team

Datagram
We run hundreds of scheduled jobs for video processing and analytics. Heartbeat monitoring gives us confidence that every job is running on schedule. The duration tracking helped us catch performance degradation before it became critical.

Datagram Engineering Team

Logical
Our logistics platform depends on scheduled inventory syncs and delivery calculations. Heartbeat monitoring ensures these critical jobs never fail silently. One missed sync could mean thousands of incorrect delivery estimates.
