Database backups, Stripe reconciliation scripts, and nightly ETL jobs fail silently when a container OOMs or a crontab syntax breaks. CronLite gives you deterministic dead-man's-switch heartbeat endpoints (/v1/cronlite/ping/{id}) for 100 production monitors at $12/month flat—no per-monitor or per-seat extortion.
