If vomiting logs on slack is a tool anybody is considering to manage lifetime and detect crashes, no wonder reliability is a strange word to messaging wannabes.

This thing has nothing to do with systems administration, notifications, status updates, or crashing.

Not to be overly nitpicky here but it's spelled "systemd", not "SystemD". From its website: Yes, it is written systemd, not system D or System D, or even SystemD. And it isn't system d either. Why? Because it's a system daemon, and under Unix/Linux those are in lower case, and get suffixed with a lower case d. And since systemd manages the system, it's called systemd. It's that simple. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/

Interesting service scaledrone. How are you different than pusher, pubnub, or hydna.com?

At a very first view I can say it's cheaper. And this is important for startups and small/medium businesses.

They also provide examples for a lot of languages, I guess I'm going to try their service.

Good job, Scaledrone!

For a previous setup we built a small script that attaches to dbus and just listens to the notifications and pushes interesting events to our logging service. Once you understand how dbus works, that's actually pretty neat and catches crashes as well as intentional status changes.
