My first question when I am considering a product like this is how can I get an email when there's an error in my application. Why isn't that in the top level feature list of everything like this, or am I unusual in thinking that this is an essential feature of any hosting system?

Some hosting systems may support that out of the box but I don't know what they are. Typically you would use metrics, monitors and alerts and create a notification alert based on certain conditions. No reason they couldn't provide some out of the box, but it's not common. At the very least it would need to stop after a short number of alerts or they'd end up spamming customers if it crashes on a loop

I've started tossing https://ntfy.sh/ alerts into my Deno apps to get push notifications for things I'm interested in

how does it works on self-hosted environment?

We're gathering more feedback for supporting self-hosted cron environment. Can you describe how you would use it?

My wife has had good luck using Pushover [1], which seems similar. I wonder how these services compare?

Any plans for an SQL db service?

we've gotten a bunch of interest for this and the team is discussing it :)

Personally I would stay within your niche and focus on documentation, guides, and outreach to convert more people to your stack. A few simple but very reliable easy solutions is better than a lot of not great solutions.

Nice, I was just wondering if there was an opportunity for a product similar to vercel for batch jobs. This isn't quite that but close. From my experience there 5 main components for larger scale system. - Request server - database - queue - background worker - offline batch jobs I feel like so far serverless has the first 3 fairly well developed but the last two are still underdeveloped. But maybe I'm just not aware…

This is pretty much what Inngest is (https://www.inngest.com/). Runs on Deno as well.

EventBridge + Lambda or ECS gets you pretty far for the last two imo

But then you need to set it up. On small fast moving teams having something that just works from the code is a massive win and I'd rather not cross the infra/code barrier.

Pushover looks very similar to Ntfy, but I haven't tried it yet.

Is the spikiness of cron schedules going to cause you operational problems? You're going to end up with a _lot_ of jobs scheduled at "0 0 * * *".
